Elite Defense

[sonofstat]

I think we are solid and have shown enough to keep games close and give the Offense a shot in every game.

However when we had Zimmer we were just so fundamentally sound and i always had faith in his plan and Paulie G simply is not (yet) at that point as far as I'm concerned. Whether its missed tackles , blown coverage, poor communication...you always feel there could be a killer big play coming.

On a related note I really think we need to prioritise Defense in the draft. I was having a quick look at some of the draft selections from 2011-14...too early to review the 2015 class.....We have had an astonishing success rate on our offense picks (early and later rounds).

The defense has been really hit and miss however and I think for some positions we are at the point where we really need an investment in the draft. Especially as our first 3 picks in 2015 were also offense. Paulie needs more weapons!
