Im with you on Lock.
I am not quite there with you yet on the defense. I do like the D. LOVE our secondary!! Love OJ! I always have liked Callahan (even when chumps said to cut him- Cugel). Imagine if we had one more of the Bouye or OJ type. Just one more Boss of zone. I am concered big time about the pass rush. It works with the blitz which is cool. I am down with blitzing no prob. I want pressure on the QB.
I just have not seen good pressure. I feel like the QBs have a lot of time. The pats had a shit Oline and IMO we should have just worked them over and over like we did brady in the AFCCG. We got to Cam, but he also holds the ball too. One of our 4 sacks was a bad snap. The week before against the JETs- well I do not need to say more about that. Tannehill and Big Ben and Brady did well against us. Early season, Injuries, I get it.
So I am close but not quite there yet. If we can make the blitzes hit, then yes!!! For now, I still feel like we give the QBs too much time. I also still have concern about QBs running on us. And TE is still a problem imo.
That said- I was sure we would beat the pats. I do not think we beat the chefs next week, but I bet we hang with them for a while and it is closer than people expect.
The Plan at the moment:
Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).
Players I want:
Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell
