This team needs play makers and ball hawks. You know..dawgs. It's time to win and get back into post season play.

I agree we need playmakers and we need ball hawks, with that being said who do we actually have on the secondary that does this now? Browner and Laurintis were done, bad decisions, one on Ryan the other on Allen. Then there was a time we signed a veteran(Sharper) for the backfield (Allen owes him for jumpstarting his career in my opionion) and we all know how that turned out? Veteran leadership can go a long way in helping younger players.

Recent super bowl history tells us that spending money on big time FAs can put you over the top. Denver got obliterated by Seattle, signs big FAs on day one and win it all two years later.

What I'm getting at is it's who you spend it on that matters.

Not to mention signing the best DC in the game, Wade Phillips.

Denver would have won that Super Bowl with Ryan Leaf at QB entirely because of their defense.

Unfortunately, I don't have faith that SP knows how to fix this mess, besides 2009, 2010 and 2013 the defense has been awful and he can't seem to find a long term fix.

I agree, the square pegs in round holes really never work. A great DC though helps remedy some of the aches and pains.
