They were nowhere close to competing and completely dropped the ball in getting value from teams who were competing who think they could have used a Geno or Dunlap to help them. Now they are stuck with them.
Last year it looked like they fixed the running game over the second half of the season and they were going to add 2 first round picks at QB and LT plus the return of AJ Green to help with the passing game.
The defense was a nightmare, but they added FIVE starters in free agency.
There was no reason to believe that this team could not have at least competed this year. Atkins and Dunlap were playing well and we had no one on the roster to replace them. It did not make any sense to create two new holes in a defense that we had just spent $100 million in free agency to fix.
