Quote:This is a classic case of box score watching. Try watching the games instead. You can start with last week's game. Watch Brees shred us apart during the first quarter taking all the time in the world while eating new orleans gumbo. After you're done watching that pull up tape on our defense in 3rd down situations. Especially 3rd and long.

^^^This, so much this. If you watch the games there's no way you can actually try to justify that the pass rush is not the major issue of the defense. Sacks are great but those sacks may only come on 2-3 plays a game. The 25-40 other pass plays in the game the QB is not affected by the pass rush at all and shreds the defense.


So yeah, I think pass rush is the most pressing need for the the team.
