This makes no sense to me? No CB has gotten big money in BB's system, we have won with replacement/young CBs, and the front 7 has always been the major focus.
Not sure I would call Law, Milloy, Harrison replacements, Samuel. And we all know Samuel should have been paid, but I take your point on the money. Still, spending on the front 7, Green for example, hasn't always been the best use of cap has it
26/39 is 67% which is higher than his career average, and right around where he is in his best years (2009 being his best at 68.8). The QBs you talked about didn't have terrible games, but they did NOT light us up either. Our defense was wildly inconsistent this season as expected with all the youth and loss of veterans.
And adding a quality player of Nnamdi's ability would then be a bad thing why?
"moved at will" is your exaggeration but yes the defense as a WHOLE (run and pass) was not very good this year and was inconsistent. This was expected from the start of the season after losing so many veterans and having to rely on so much youth and inexperience. Any additional dominant player at any position would have helped, but you act as if our lack of a shutdown beast is the single biggest reason we had a poor year. 2009 with Asomugha replacing Wilfork would have been a worse defense. You can argue that until your blue in the face, but I'm pretty confident BB would agree with me.
