Load up the offense all you want but without seriously rebuilding the defense it will be a waste.
I’m not so sure. I do get what you’re saying, but at the same time it’s such an offensive league now. If you build a potent offense that scores on most drives, you simply need a defense capable of getting stops every so often. I’m of the opinion that you get your offense really humming and then start building defense.
But in any case, our defense (WHEN HEALTHY... NOT WHAT WE SAW THIS YEAR) could stop offenses enough to where if our Offense scored more they’d be perfectly fine. Heck, we stopped the ravens on a few drives last week. We just simply couldn’t do anything at all on the Offensive side, which meant our D got gassed from being out there the whole game.
