They need to keep these guys together too. One thing that folks didn't consider, you had a lot of new pieces added this off-season with no OTAs. Reader, Mac, Wayne's, Bynes, Wilson, Davis-Gaither, Daniels, etc....then came all of the replacements on top of that. The main issue was an inability to close out. No huge turnover on that side of the ball on the back end, coupled with some talent infusion up front could wind up being a good unit. Lou also needs to take note from Monday....let these guys play aggressive and fast. If you get burnt, you get burnt. Let them attack for the most part.
Yeah, hopefully the Indy game and the 2nd Browns game taught him something. Trying to run and hide with leads is never a good idea. They have at least seems to stop playing scared, but then again, they haven't had that many leads since.
