We were getting torched by the run and the pass.  When that happens, historically bad is about the only possible outcome.  You have to be able to stop at least one or the other.

I view Shelton's lack of pass rushing as enabling Geno to get doubled more. It's tough, because even if you free the LB's...ours aren't great.

LJ Fort signed a 3 year, $5.6 million contract with the Eagles. Man, I would have LOVED to add him for that price!
