You know where it all starts, run the ball, stop the run. Each sets up everything else.
It was obvious to me that MB made these draft picks thinking they would help sell tickets or prevent cancelations.
Especially at draft party when they strategically placed office personnel in suits all around to start cheering upon announcement when everybody else was like WTF.
Left immediately.
May have worked for short term tickets but is about to blow up in their faces on ticket sales after the debacle was proved.
Thought I would keep my seats until death, but does not feel that way anymore.
Something about this doesn't make sense. The 9th overall pick wasn't our only opportunity to select a linemen. We could've went linemen somewhere else in the draft or (Heaven forbid) free agency. Why did we completely ignore it? We're assuming Marv wanted a lineman instead of Ross. There is no such rumor. Just that Marv wanted to keep Whit (the team did, too) and he didn't want Ross.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
