While I can't say too much in favor of our defense, other than Hali and Flowers.
Whoa there Kimosabe; that's the easiest fix of all!
All you gotta' do is draft/FA 2 on the line, pick up a top-tier OLB, and your good for starting.
Kick Donnie, Jared, and Pat to the curb, give "Crusher" Williams and Morgan to play with, put "SportsCarr" back on the field and it's a done deal. You're ready now.
The REAL question/issue is; DJ and Gun. If we're sticking with C-2( which I think sucks donkey-b*lls ), then Gun has to go.
If we take the high road, let Gun do his thing, and commit to a pass-rush, DJ has to go and we need another drafted/FA OLB.
I want the pass rush because I'm confident that Morgan and Williams can handle the run. Pollard's a good stop-gap, but he can't do it all on his own. Morgan's a hitter; do not doubt it.
And finally, Carr and Flowers have both shown us that if we can make a QB rush, hesitate, misread, or stuble; they're gonna' be right there to capitalize on it.
We've GOT tools, we just need to use them.
I am hoping that the O-line is starting to get a feel for each other, and that they will be able to continue to improve because of it.
If they protect similar to the way they did today, on a consistent basis, and upgrade their overall run-blocking, I may be able to get behind the first-round QB talk.
But, if they revert back to where they were before this game, then I will continue to push for the o-line. If Albert finishes the season as well as he has started it, then that would be enough for me to lower my o-line draft expectations to second-third round. (with, hopefully, a decent vet being added.)
For this week though, I am actually excited about how that group, whoever they were, performed. And will likely stay off their backs for now.
(I'm not a Punter anyway.)
