I think we need to add another Guard and a DT that can pressure the QB. Im fine with Fairchild as the starting LG but if you are going that route, you need to bring in a proven RG like Hernandez. You cant have a rookie starting at LG then a question mark at RG. Patrick is out there limping around and Cody Ford right now is the starting RG. That is a recipe for disaster.
As far as defense, we got little pressure from the interior of the defensive line last year. We cant have a repeat of that this year with opposing QBs having all day long to throw the ball. We have the same guys back plus Slaton who isnt a pass rusher. Are we really counting on Jenkins and Jackson to make some big jump to provide a pass rush from the interior? That is expecting a lot from 2nd year DTs that werent that great in college rushing the QB and not that great their 1st year in the pros. Now all of a sudden in the 2nd season they will give you an interior pass rush? Realistically, I dont see it happening.
