We are struggling in our division because the team isn't built to defend the pass. We have two box safeties playing center field. We have LBs covering Wrs. Horrible nickel corner play. Then no pressure from the inside or edge.

I think the offense can improve next year with young pieces like Ian, CMC, Moore,  Samuel getting more experience and hopefully any lingering problems with Cam's shoulder is resolved.

However, the defense will continue to get worst if we dont start taking some of these vets behind the woodshed and putting them down. I truly believe if we had an average defense we would be 8-5 or even 9-4 right now.

And instead we have the worst defense in the league.

Wait. How are we 1-5 in 2018 with 3 division games to play? It’s obviously an ongoing problem though.

He is penciling the remaining three games as losses and I dont blame him. The Saints probably have to win out to secure Homefield and the Falcons might have lost 5 straight, but they are still a horrible matchup for this defense.

There’s not a team we can beat other than ourselves. The Raiders and 49ers are a horrible matchup for this defense.

Yes have to face reality. There were signs last year the defense was breaking down. I believe the defense or at least pass defense was ranked dead last second half of the season.

Good thing Ron took over and fixed things. If he isn’t fired, hooo boyy we are in for a 3-13 debacle next year.

I understand what he’s doing and the logic behind it. Doesn’t change the fact that we haven’t lost the games yet. I swear some people seem to revel in our struggles.

Time for us to forget about 2015, that was a million years ago in the NFL.  We laugh at Dallas all the time bragging about their super bowls.

As soon as Ron had job security (read after 2015) he went right back to who he always has been.  An average HC with some amazing pieces around him to keep him afloat.

Completely agree with this. Even more annoying is that we have more cap money in the D than the O. It follows that drafting S or DE and making some of these guys accountable for their performance is a good move.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
