I'm not going to sit here and lie. I been on the "Get rid of Rex" bandwagon but I'm also a student of the game.
It doesn't take a genius to see that Mario isn't giving 100% out there on the field. He hasn't even been double teamed for like 5 weeks straight now. I guess opposing offenses watch film and they tell their RT to just handle business by himself. Hughes is getting double teamed more than Mario. Go figure.
I'm still not a fan of the Rex defense (at least not with Preston Brown at MLB) but since Terry clearly said he's sticking with Rex, all I xan hope for is that we draft a stud Linebacker, get another edge rusher like Hughes (I actually think Lawson would be perfect opposite side of Hughes) and draft another stud Safety to compliment Aaron Williams.
All that would be left to do after that is study the defense like if their life depended on it and get rid of the stupid penalties. Game management and penalties played at least a 40-50% role on most of our losses.
On the offensive side of the ball, all I can think of getting better at is WR and maybe a decent RT or RG.
