Quote:I don't understand everybody saying we need DE's. From what I've been reading a good majority of people are calling for the jags to draft a de. I look at team like the jets that built up that defensive line year after year it looks great but it will hurt you in the long run. Our d-line is the only constant thing we've had all year. I think the major focus for FA and the draft should be what we truly need to fix our godawful o-line and adding to the secondary. McCray is looking good and Colvin is looking promising but both safetys are looking rough. I love Cyprien I'm still rooting for the guy but he has not been playing to his potential, and Evans hasn't been looking great. if we can bring in some talent to help out those positions we could do big things. What do you think? Agree, don't care, or I'm a foolAaron Colvin is looking decent but really the other CBs & Safetys had moments of success but mainly of failures... they let up most points / yards passing in the league and have the lowest PDs and INTs in the league....
its almost non existant in INTs... i mean telvin smith OLB has one, and DE Smith got one... and i think guy fs had one but hes not even on the team anymore... i think MLB JT Thomas has 2... oh i think CB Ball had one... but hes on IR
none of the current DBs have any on the roster...

McCray is playing at an elite level. Colvin has looked good (and really fast). Ball is injured, Gratz has been disappointing this year, and Blackmon dropped off a cliff. Right now we have two very good CBs, some potential at 3 and 4 with Gratz and Ball (or will he be a free agent?), and two big holes at safety. Where are Lowery and Landry when you need them?

Why is everyone downing Cyp? He is doing exactly what he is supposed to do. If we had a better FS he would look as bad as you guys think he does.

Because he mis-tackles too much. Given that thats one of his primary responsibilities, its disappointing. Its bad enough to see the CB and FS have mis-tackles, but the "box" Safety?

I.still cannot remember when branch has gone 1 on 1 and straight up beat his man for the sack
credit where its due if he gets the opportunity its very rare he lets his man skip away and he is also good in pursuit on run plays
There is potential there but he has a long way to go before being a primary rusher
Even then doesn't hurt to have 2 which is why I would love to take Leonard williams having a 5tech that could also rush the Passer and move inside would be huge and I think he is the best player in this draft

I've been critical of him for the same reason but I've seen him do it once or twice. Still, I think it's obvious by now hes never going to hold up as a primary edge rusher. He's a 6-8 sack rotational guy who plays the run well and gives maximum effort. I'm completely fine with that for a 2nd round pick.
