with CJ and Easley gone - what will the pass rush look like in 2016
and how it will affect the secondary?
last offseason there were tons of doubts/fear about weak CB position
but signing of Sheard hinted improved pass rush would help
i really looked forward last year to finnaly see some serious NE pass rush
its nothing more painful than to wait an eternity for the opposite offence to strike
(especially if your OL cant give your QB 2 seconds)
for sure it was not only the development of Butler (and partly Ryan)
that showed our secondary and CB in particular better than expected
with young and explosive talent now suddenly gone
the effect of sheard might get diminished as well (drawing more attention)
and Butler and Ryan might face a load too heavy
i feel there might be a serious reality check coming their way
(i do trust butler is special but some of his limitations might get exposed)
