Efficiently Spending On Defense

That's been suggested by some here. I don't know how effective he'll be at it on the NFL level, but I doubt it would be much worse than what was out there last year.



Both of those guys would be interesting, especially against the run. Neither solves the pass rush question, as far as an inside rush, but having a rotation of Pouha/Love/Wilfork would certainly be strong against the run up the middle.

I just don't know what sort of money they'll be looking for. Pouha might end up staying with the Jets for less rather than risking the market, for example.

Pass rush possibilities are pretty slim unless you're willing to drop big coin. After Spencer, Johnson, Bennett and Avril, you're already down to question marks in FA. A lower end player like Wallace Gilberry, or older players coming off down years like Vanden Bosch, Umenyiora and A. Carter are what's out there.

That's why I'm for fixing the secondary and receiving corps this year, and the lines next. I'm open to suggestions, but I just don't see much more than chewing gum and baling wire out there this year.

"That's why I'm for fixing the secondary and receiving corps this year, and the lines next."


You can plan on what you want, but I beleive Belechick drafts ballplayers a) when they are available and b) worth the value.

THIS is the year that the linemen on both sides are there, so you do the lines THIS year. The WR and CBs are not great this season, so you don't go there, up high.

I could see them take a WR in the third or fourth to develop, but that is not a solution for this year.

Jones can do what? Cover? He doesn't have the change of direction ability to do that.

Read what I wrote. He wouldn't cover any more then Willie did which was about never

Point taken. I will admit that Jones stands a much better chance of success in a 3-4 scheme
as an OLB than he ever will as a DE.
