Chase is a great change of pace, but ground control and 4th quarter time kill is what we need. Elway didn't win a SB till Davis came along. Brady won with Dillon, Antowain Smith and Blount. Manning had James, Addai and even Faulk for one year.

We are losing games in 4th quarter and Burrow has thrown 5 of his 6 INTs in the 4th.

On defense, the most glaring need is interior pass rush. When we had Hill and Larry O, anchored around Reader - all was well.

If there is a give and take here, I would prefer an interior DT over a WR. Enough of converting a DE to a rush DT, ala Carter.

Belichick also had a strong interior OL.  We do not have that.   I want that both to run the ball and protect Burrow.  If we can't do the latter there is no point in winning games.  Eventually he's going to suffer a career ending injury.

But I think IDL comes right after that.  Then CB.  Then WR.   Better sign who we have...
