Oh, I 100% agree that it is quite possible/probable that's at least some of it.

I just don't think you can pay guys on the hope that's they are everything you hope for so long as you get a new DC. That sounds like a trainwreck waiting to happen if/when it turns out it wasn't just Lou.

I also am not sure how realistic a 1 year turnaround is for this team after Zac & Co shit all over it for 2 years... so I am thinking all the resources they have should just go towards making Burrow protected. If having a talent-deficient defense for a year is the price it takes to get Joe Thuney and Corey Linsley in FA protecting Joe Burrow, I am willing to roll with that. Don't like the idea of spending large $ in order to keep together a bad defense while the OL needs so much attention.
