The longest Okafor stayed healthy was last season; so that, plus an achilles tendon rupture that takes a min of a year to recover, if ever?!? Okafor is not a viable option, besides, Hendrickson will be able to step up opposite Cam... What we need is that in your face pass rush and our NT and DT3 were not getting it done enough last year... |

What we need as far as receiving is a more reliable pass catching Tight End for the third downs and the red zone... The front seven on defense, depth on the offensive line, those are the big blinking red lights... Let me repeat... In 2017, last year, we were second in total offense (391.2 yds/gm), and second only to New England (394.2yds/gm)... Addressing those needs got us out of our 7-9 cycle - let's keep building on that direction, trust it as it's working... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
