But at the same time I was well aware of how horrible our defense was. Our offense was 26th is sacks allowed, but our defense finished DEAD LAST in sacks.
I see some guys complaining that we did not do enough to address the problem at O-line, but the fact is that this roster had so many holes we simply could not dedicate all of our resources to just fixing the O-line. The other teams that fans point to who did more for their O-line did not have as many holes at other spots on their roster.
They were smart to draft Ossai in the 3rd. I kind of expected them to wait until day 3 to select an edge rusher and was surprised it was sooner.
Hendrickson can’t be the only reliable rusher to have a successful defense, last year proved that with Lawson. Hopefully the additions of Milton, Ossai and Sample will prove to be the long term answers to this problem too
