Am I wrong in thinking MLB is our biggest weakness on defense?

Good god were we spoiled with Luke. We need a QB on the defense who can cover in the middle between the sticks. Whitehead is terrible and Shaq has never been able to cover anything in his career. Chinn is basically turning out to be what we had hoped Shaq would become when drafting him. We have been dropping Burns into coverage because our linebackers are such a liability. Only problem with that is Burns is also our best pass rushers and we aren't generating much pressure without him. Burns, Brown and YGM look like a very promising young d-line group. It really sucks thinking what could have been if Luke never retired.

Come draft time, If there isn't an elite QB or LT prospect available I would not be mad with a stud MLB. Just Look at what Devin White has done for Tampa's defense paired with Lavonte David. I know many of us hated the Luke pick originally but look how that turned out.

For what it's worth, I don't generally see a lack of effort on Whitehead's part.

Boston sometimes looks like he's making "business decisions".

I just think Boston is soft. He played like this back in college too.  Whitehead is just athletically limited. It's frustrating because I think Boston has the tools to be really good. Whitehead doesn't.

Boston has at least two horrible plays a week, Whiteheads mistakes often result in less yardage/scoring than Bostons. I still can't believe we extended him at what we did...  the guy still can't executed a basic tackle.

Watching him hold back while a guy caught an easy pass in front of him today about made me go through the roof.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
