Quote:0 first round picks (Fowler injured).

 

1 2nd round pick (inconsistent)

 

1 3rd round pick (bad)

 

0 top free agent (Marks injured)

 

And we wonder why this defense is bad? DC spent all of his top resources in our offense. The only question now is if it will take 3 years to rebuild this defense like it took him the offense.

 

Taking a deep breath, putting aside my immediate frustration and trying to be analytical, we are not really that far away from having a winning record this year.   If we had a decent kicker, and if we could get some pressure on the passer, we could easily be winning the division.  

 

I think the defense can be fixed in one offseason if we are lucky.   What we need is for Fowler to pan out, for Marks to get healthy and stay healthy, and for us to draft a great defensive player.   I would love to get that defensive tackle from Ole Miss.
