The Defense

[THE PISTONS]

The problem was this was a sucky Free Agent class for what we needed. Unless we wanted to drop 50 million plus for Mosley there was nothing there.

I noted in the Gameday thread that the defense was bad and also said ZT should/would be pissed. To his credit he was. He did something Marvin did not do which was call out the defense by name and on specifics. I want to see if on Thursday they play more aggressively and not so tentative, if they finally press the receivers at the line and so on.

The narrative that there were no free agents worth signing is totally false.

Guys like LJ Fort signed reasonably and would have been upgrades over the guys we have at LB.

The Bengals seemed set on hiring/signing former Dolphins and Giants for some reason.
