symbiant Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 We need both LT and a pass rush. We should really go after a premium pass rusher in FA. It's interesting how the wheels fell off after Schobel retired. We can't get a good feel of how good this D is without one... it's priority #1.

The defense really hasn't been effective since we lost Schobel. He was our only real outside pass rusher. Nix even said it himself the whole defense should get better with an improved pass rush and if you give an NFL QB that much time "they will wear you out". That being said don't reach for a pass rusher. As someone else said BPA. If that happens to be one of the top 2 LTs because the premier pass rushers are off the board then get an LT. It's a position of need. Good teams have a guy they know is THE guy at LT not a bunch of fodder that they rotate in and out waiting for projects and experiments to pan out.

We need a passrusher in the worst way. Being able to stop the other team = more running the ball = fewer picks for Fitz We need pressure in the worst way... i say "overpay" any eilte player willing to come here.
