Why won't Gettleman pull the trigger for the Secondary?

No you dont, but HE WAS APART OF THAT PHILOSOPHY. And he has said that since day 1. And when is the last time a QB hasnt had a lot to do with there team reaching the superbowl? Thats not the point. He wants to build this team like the one in New York because it has proven to win. What other insurance do you need? Teams arent built in one draft anyway.

I agree. And I think you're arguing my point, which is kinda hilarious. I'm saying that we're banking on a front 4 to be dominant. That's not something that the Giants came up with. Hell, look at the Purple People Eaters, etc. That's a philosophy that predates anything Gettleman has or hasn't done.

I'm saying this, though. We keep heaping credit onto Gettleman like he was the one who built that team from the ground up in New York. That's not the case at all. That same philosophy has been in place since Phill Simms won Super Bowls there. It finally came back together once the team could establish another QB.

My whole post was to never argue about who came up with the philosophy, i just know it works and that showed for us last year. I could careless who came up with it but whatever.

Been saying this for a while now, when Gettleman said the pieces were usually already on your team he was talking about secondary.

They like Norman and Thomas at one of the corner spots, Drayton at the other one, Dj Moore or Captain at the Nickel spot with Godfrey and Campbell at the safety spots. They also feel like they have good depth with Moore, Dockery, Mitchell and Jones.

2 things.

1) pass rush trumps secondary

2) better to get free agents in the secondary. Better value moneywise.

We have held our own against qbs in the div. The team has given up 12 4th qrtr leads the last 2 yrs. Most in the NFL. Just tweak some and get a very solid db in FA.

    • Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
    • Bryce youngs first starts for 3 years   51 of 103 49%     153 yards avg 6 ints 2 tds   But this is the year he turns it around
    • His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
