If we don't fix our interior d-line...

Not only will Mark Ingram have his coming out party next Sunday, but I can't imagine us winning that many more games.

The coaches have to take drastic measures to fix it Immediately

Teams now have the blue print for beating us... We just allowed Forte to run for 206 yds! Wow!

Gotta get it fixed or we're toast!

shhh don't tell him that. TCF think he is breaking news to us.

Nope... Don't confuse something I said for things that you do.

Furthermore, it's way more obvious today after allowing a fuggin 200+ yard runner.

Not breaking any news... They have to fix this. Never been a more serious issue than now.

two rookies and a guy signed in week 2 at DT

two best LBs (and defensive leader) out for the season

It's pretty clear they were going to struggle on D and the best we can hope for is the youg guys to improve with experience

I think everyone underestimated how good this team was including our own coaches and front office.

They wanted all younger guys to play and get experience, however if we had picked up more veterans for the spots we are weak at, we could very well be sitting pretty.

Or we can imagine how good we would be without all of our key injuries.

    • You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.  
    • Put Huey P Newton on the helmet. With his AK. 
    • We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
