With the secondary, it's obvious that Leshawn Simms should be spending more time on the bench than on the field, but has been pressed into service because of the injuries to Waynes and others.
In spite of all, if the team could manufacture a pass rush, the defense really wouldn't look all that bad. We've had excellent play from the Safeties.
We are lacking tremendously in pass rush, especially from the interior. Even when Hubbard or Lawson win outside, the QB can just step up in the pocket and deliver the ball easily. Out DTs are nonexistent.
So, our biggest problem on defense is the interior of the defensive line, and the biggest problem on offense is the interior of the offensive line. Where will they spend their FA dollars and their draft picks? Hmmm.
I know I have said it 1000 times, but here is 1001: Sign Thuney. Get Reader and Tupou/Wren back. Draft Sewell. Then, aside from one pick on a WR, draft interior defensive linemen and interior offensive linemen and create serious competition in those position groups.
Note: This would be assuming they are able to sign WJIII and Alexander as well, negating the need for a high draft pick on a CB.
