Makes me realize just how bad we f'd up by not grabbing an impact pass rusher after Galette went nuts.

They did try for Kruger when he was younger, faster...

But when that failed, they should have got it done...

Who were they going to get? There was no one to get. All the pass rushers that might be available this season were under contract. There were only a few pass rushers in the last draft. We did draft Kikaha but he went down. I repeat, just who were they going to get? They did sign Kruger but who knew he would be so ineffective.

Flashback to 2013 Nonie. When Junya went banannas on the beach. 2014 was his last season in New Orleans.

YES, there has been plenty of DE talent available over the last three seasons.

Kika was drafted but somewhat miscast and with medical red flags. Kruger was a band aid last year and shouldn't even be in the discussion.

I am aware of when it was. I say again, who were they going to get? Please, enlighten me.

We didn't hesitate to waste or trade draft picks. We overpayed several free agents who didn't pan out.

I'd start there. But just about anyone would have been better than what we left ourselves with.

You still haven't told me what pass rushers were available. Maybe you should start there.

Do your own homework.
