Neither Jackson or Kirkpatrick are very good in run support. Now we finally have a CB who is. This could prove to be a big difference on the field. Also Waynes best stats are on 3rd down, which is another one of our weakest areas on D. We all wanted LB, but honestly the bigger contracts are better served at DT and CB. They pretty much stuck with the old proven formula and I like it. No matter how bad I want a LB and we need one, I'm glad they didnt panic into overpaying for one now. That money is better invested in the middle of your DL. Reader is a better overall player than Schobert. Glad they went after Joe, but it was smart not to match Jacksonville and put that money in Reader.

Was totally shocked by the whole thing btw. When Schobert signed I was like, daaaaaaaaaaang we are screwed, and then pow. Wth did they put in Mike Browns coffee lol.

I think you make a great point, that so many has just glossed over, Waynes is great at run support! I can still see the image of Kirkpatrick diving at Hunt's legs in the KC game 2 seasons ago and totally whiffing! That is just 1 of many examples...
