Man I really wish they made a serious effort to get more athletic at LB this offseason and move away from the safety potpurri scheme that failed spectacularly in the SB. Looks even worse now with both Hightower and McCourty looking alarmingly old--that's the heart of your defense right there, the one thing had been reliable from '14 onwards.
Clayborn did his best Cassius Marsh impression all day long.
Remember a few years ago, when this defense was loaded with talent in the front seven (and yes I realize they won in '16 post-Collins)? Just so barren right now.
Meanwhile on offense I was happy with the Cooks trade as anyone, and despite his hot start in LA I think he's still a bit of a one-trick pony. But man those comeback routes he had in the AFC Title game (and a nice OPI!) sure would have been nifty today. Felt like Brady was throwing horizontal all game long.
