I don't normally make these threads, I actually loath them.

But, I just took a look at Defense rankings.

Houston Texans #1 in yards per game and #2 in points per game.

Huh? They were absolutely atrocious last season.

Hired Wade Phillips and moved to a 3-4.

If they can make this massive turn around in one season, why can't we?

We would have to dedicate our entire draft to defense to make the change, but I think its possible.

Again, I am sorry. I just can't help it when I saw the Texans.

Also, how much of this comes from the fact that the Titans are a top rushing team.

Wade knows how to call a 3-4, and I'm not sure McDermmot does. At least well enough to pull a Texans turn around. I'm fine with the 4-3 if we get some playmakers. We need to hit on every draft pick this year. Marty needs to lean on the talent evaluaters and avoid stupid ass trades. This is a HUGE draft for us.

Please do not use stats without context. They are meaningless. You need to take into consideration the efficiency of the offenses these defenses faced in order for those numbers to actually mean anything.(strength of schedule..not last year's but this year's as it unfolded)

They don't mean anything when you just state that. I'm working on trying to get a more accurate measurement on where our both offense and defense ranks. It will take some time.

That's why there is such a HUGE difference between last year and this year. Strength of schedule of offenses and their own offense's performance(yards per point when you put those two together).

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By strato · Posted

      I look at it like get on top of the situation. Stay ahead of it. If it costs you a year of not drafting a starter at number three WR in the first so be it. We need new blood there in 2027 if not 2026, and need to get some OL on rookie deals.   At the same time the big picture is considered, we have a QB that has yet to earn an extension and you can go glass half full if you want but he had about half the good games that he needed to have. Fewer, IMO, but the point is he is not a lock to earn an extension.    Which would really put next year’s number one in play for QB and take OT off the table. So I think it needs to be on the table this year.

      https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-offensive-line-success-why-building-through-the-nfl-draft-is-the-key   Conclusions drawn This article took a deep dive into evaluating recent offensive line trends regarding the draft and free agency while incorporating team success into the equation. Here are the biggest takeaways:   The best offensive lines in football (PHI, DET, TB) were built through the draft in the early rounds Other teams (most notably LAC) are following the same approach in team building Offensive line is something a team should target in the early rounds (1-3), as the success rate significantly declines in the later rounds both in the short and long-term Offensive tackles have a higher success rate through the draft than interior offensive linemen, regardless of round Acquiring free agent offensive line does have its benefits, particularly for elite units filling one hole. Interior offensive is typically the way to go Top-end offensive line talent is far less likely to be available via trade or free agency compared to other positions year to year, only emphasizing the importance of the draft   My words: we were forced to make some big signings on interior after years of poor OL drafting and neglect. It worked but isnt sustainable. We need to get right. Drafting tackles high is a successful formula. We need to start now to have any hope going forward.
