You don't have to be a top 5 D, but you can't get bulldozed every play and routinely give up 3rd and 15 because you have squat for a pass rush. Need a 1 tech, pass rusher and CB 2.

Yes, precisely why they got crushed by TB. And if they don't beefup their OL, they're in for another b-slapping by a great D with a great pass rush.

Agree, though if your quoting McD it's "iron sharpens iron."

They cut both their starting OTs, not DEs.

With our present D we will get pushed down the field regularly and hope they make a mistake in their 12 -15 play drives so we hold them to FGs. Then hope Josh can bail us out.

Tell that to Tampa Bay and get Mahomes take on it as well.

S Law is consistently negative, but he's not always wrong. I hope Beane's day 4 bargain signings will be enough to shore up our trenches and add some physicality to this D. The Pats are now built to grind us down and play ball control. Unless we load the box we can't stop the run and never could cover a good TE. NE's got two good TEs now.

We cannot cover a TE, soft against the run and can't get off the field on 3rd and long. We need to sign some talent on D.

Caps are fungible, we need to add talent on D because the AFC East will be a dog fight this year.

Overpaid or not, NE has added considerable talent in all the areas needed to exploit our soft run D and TE coverage, to go along with our weak push rush. Let's hope our bargain signings can keep pace .

We were the NFL worst team covering TEs last year and have long been unable to do so. Our D is soft against the run and terrible at covering TEs. BB is building a team to exploit both. We haven't responded as of yet. Gotta believe Beane toughens the trenches and finds a big nickel solution. Edmunds Is a liability against NE

Well, not wanting to interrupt the happy narrative but I don't see us better with this signing. I love Feliciano's attitude and heart, but not a big fan of the product. He's average and will consistently lose against top talent. I was hoping for an upgrade at RG and would have loved to have Feliciano as #1 interior back up. But that is starting guard money. Rather have spent the coin on a pass rusher.

I hope the Hell not. Much rather have those two than Milano.

Nah, it just raises up the have nots. Should be an interesting year.

Maybe, but he's right.

Concussions are a big concern. The OTs he'll be banging with in the NFL are big, fast and nastyand it's every week..

I tried out for the team but the coach said I was short, but slow.

He will, but not as good as Rivers. I think it's a net loss for Indy.

Well that's just cracker-dogs. Jerry has been our only source of QB pressure. Better have some better plans in place before you blow everything up.

I rest my case after the best offense just got B slapped by a great D in the SB. Draft D Line or Oline. It starts up front.

Not watching. Who cares.

I don't think we could do worse than KC. Stunning lack of discipline and terrible coaching.

And cue the defense wins championships crowd because it's true.

Got to try and keep him. RT is a pretty big hole to have to fill when we need some upgrades in other places.
