Cooks wasn't going to get us over this slumo. Drew time is running shorter and its time to throw the chips down. Cooks was an expendable assest. The front office took the best offer available and will try to improve the defense. The move up from 4th round to end of the 3rd is a bonus and could be the difference in a player we want.

The offense has lost 1100 yards.
With an improved defense take some yards off. You can easily see Thomas and hopefully Fleener covering a third to half them yards and Ginn can easily be a 4-700 yard receiver.

A new slot receiver/3rd down back will cover the holes too. This isnt loosing a Graham/Colston type thats also a massive red zone threat.


Changes needed made

"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!

Changes were needed, but we resigned low energy amidst another 7-9 debacle. BC probably not the change we needed. I hope we get a great player at 32, and I hope BC ****s the bed in N.E. I want us to be the winners, I want us to win our division. I am not seeing that we have done any of that.

Our defense stinks because our recent picks and FA moves stink. Sorry, but that's just reality.
