As I watch this game, it's apparent how far we need to go to be in this stratosphere. I also realise that if we had a Dline and a Oline we would be much closer to getting there. Can they make up that deficit in one year with our cap space and the draft? 

I know the age on this team is also a factor. Can they fix the problems next season or are we looking at a much longer road back? Opinions

The good news is we have a really good set of young guys. Next year we will have a ton of cap and will likely resign Williams to a far more affordable contract than we ever thought. We also will have Cap to get a slot and SS. Our dline will have to be addressed in the draft because their will be no pass rusher worth the money they get paid.

The problem with our dline isn’t a lack of talent. It’s all effort.

Eh. Idk about that. Effort is definitely a huge issue, sure...but we ain’t got a surplus of talent along our defensive line that’s for sure.

KK pretty much sucks now. Poe is also garbage. Peppers is 100 years old, and Addison is a glorified situational 3rd down pass rusher.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
