There’s been 4 defensive meltdowns in the playoffs. Chiefs twice, Bengals, and the Texans.
Spags was fresh off a SB wins with the Giants over a juggernaut Patriots team. Reid said “that is the guy I need” and the rest was history.
But you see why our situation is quite different. Andy Reid finally went out and got the best DC on the planet to get over the hump because his side of the ball wasn’t the problem.
What do we do?
Cook.
Fans think he can be replaced with any 4th rounder and I don’t believe that. His unique skill set and ball security commands a premium that we should be willing to pay.
