Sure. But last year was also different in that it was pretty apparent we were going to accept tanking.
Zaven SUCKED at edge last year. We couldn’t get anyone to push Victor Dimukege. Embarrassing.
Yeah, it does look a bit sketchy but I'm riding the draft high so Im feeling optimistic about Ojulari and Robinson. Plus I think Ralis will now have enough solid dudes to dial up some blitz packages.
I think there's a difference between "tolerated" and "outright expected." The difference is that I believe there's just a better chance we do look for some additional players possibly, and now are more in the position where we expect to win 6-9 games. Last year it was clear we expected to be the worst team in the NFL.
If you want I'll share some hopium with you.
So the difference of a bottom feeder and top flight is basically 1 additional sack per game?
Pretty much. The Cards went through stretches where they had zero sacks per game last year.
Yes, this is my point too. People on this board are ridiculously obsessed with sacks, and I don't think it is that important. Especially when you consider against the best O-lines the best pass rushing teams in the league can be completely nullified for whole games.
That 1 sack per game is often the culmination of four or five extra pressures too.
Shutting down no...I think a good NFL defense can get to the QB regularly and not be an embarrassment against the run.
Meh the NY Giants Super Bowl teams had middling CBs and a great pass rush.
Patriots won super bowls with mid dbs
Sacks are a lagging indicator. Pressures are a leading indicator. Teams with lots of pressures but few sacks are like to break through. Teams with high sack
ressure ratio are likely to regress the next year.
Started For two high level programs. And we have a lot of bodies that can play cb but very little proven ability to play in nfl. Numbers are needed at the position.
Tell us how you really feel
Ya seems like they also filled in gaps with mid Dbs too. Whatever haha
