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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I meant write off in the entire class being absolute garbage and that being on Dan  FA was pretty solid but Dan and Brandt handing out one big terrible contract to Turk Wharton. Milton was their top target and the pivot from Milton to Turk while paying Turk what they did was insane.  Id LOVE to know had we not paid Turk what type of contract he would’ve received. 3/30 mayyyybe? This is someone Brandt obviously vouched for.  I’ve watched a few of Tilis’ interviews now. One with Jourdan and one with Yates. He’s a big Moneyball fan. Giving Turk the deal they gave him is the complete opposite of the whole Moneyball idea. They paid a dude who they saw some potential in money that you’d pay someone that has actually made an impact  The worst part is that he’s 100% here next year too. That contract keeps him here until 2027 for sure

      Are you kidding? They just now figured out they could use someone else for a qb sneak.

      The biggest problem is that his upward trend is still well below NFL average. At some point there's just too much evidence to ignore. I've been there for awhile now. Honestly, it only took a handful of games for me to realize that he just had too many physical limitations to overcome to ever be a legitimate starter. I get that the organization couldn't afford to pull the plug that quick after that investment but there's absolutely no way we should've gone into year three without legitimate competition on the roster. We always a year behind kn this Bryce thing. This year should've been the legit competition year and this offseason should've been the moving on point. Hopefully we'll play catch up but I expect the trend to cj tinge and next year will be the vet competition year.
