They jettisoned the poor RT and oline coach, brought in a well respected and solid oline coach and RT, then drafted several interior linemen.
You can disagree with the moves that were made and consider them incorrect, but you cannot say that they neglected the issue.
Said it before I could.
Pros: The coaching in the trenches
- Free Agency in addressing the trenches
- Youth growth, specifically Linebacker, expecting major strides from the young guys in their second year.
- Having healthy players who are not over the hill like Geno and AJ clearly were last year.
- Secondary looking very good
- Better players in the trenches should help us stop the run better and get after the QB on Defense.
Cons: Zac and Lou still being here, I would of at least moved on from Lou after last season.
- Coaching once injuries occur, we still don't know if these coaches can coach a next man up mentality here.
- Have to start winning close games, until this happens we don't know if it ever will.
- Depth on OL namely OT. Somebody like Jonah or Reiff goes down we could be in trouble.
