SleepingTitan Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Obvious move I expected, but literally wtf are we gonna do? We couldn't cover last year. Pass rush doesn't mean shit if all the receivers are open. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're in trouble if they're banking on getting a high level starter at both pass rusher and CB going in to the draft too I think they are banking on a lot of pretty good guys being on the street and being able to get them relatively cheap.

japan Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 You could see this move coming when they drafted Fulton. We said it at the time... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingTitan Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 We. Are. Fucked. We needed a #1 corner. Now we need a #1 and #2 corner. Adoree regressed and has never been healthy. The rest are either unproven or scrubs worse than what we had under Webster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can win with averageish and solid CBs. You can't win with an awful non existent pass rush though. Beef up the pass rush. Get a cheap vet and draft someone with a first or second rounder.

Nash Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 do they re-sign King, or do they go younger and cheaper?.. and when Vrabel came in he said that on defense we would be multiple up front and constant in the back end or secondary.. what does that mean in the context of who our players are?

japan Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 I assume they like what they have in Fulton. As much as I am not an Adoree fan, no way he's as bad as he was at the end of the year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol at cheap vet pass rusher or pass rusher late first. They don't grow on trees. Corners don't either. That's why they cost. Most of this draft is full of developmental pass rushers. Not a bunch of studs. Signing one will cost money. It takes 2.5-3 secs to get a sack. That's how long it takes a receiver to get 15-20 yards and release. QB can throw in 2 secs to get that ball out on a 20 yard pass. Is this math making sense? You people banging tables for pass rush are stuck in the 90s. You're also ignoring the modern QB who buys an additional 2 secs by moving the pocket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly won with some average CB's. Ok, NE won with Gilmore who is a #1 CB but I bet you more often than not the Super Bowl winner doesn't have exceptional top notch expensive corners on the roster.

None. Adoree is an ok cb when he starts. But he don't start. No #2. No depth. We're fucked. Did you see what Big Ben did to us? Dink and dunk us 90 yards every series. Swiss cheese WITH Butler.

And we have Fulton who should be healthy. You're acting like they will just stand at the position and not do anything. I don't want them signing some bum who is over the hill. No old guys at CB. I can deal with someone who was injured. Those bounce back guys are the best value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titans279 Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 I think that it's true that these moves are pretty much expected and necessary but that they likely mean that the team is worse next year which is why you see the different responses in these threads. Some are saying we knew this was going to happen and that it makes sense and others are just upset that it makes the team worse. Technically both sides are correct imo.

Titans279 Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 The other thing is we know that the 2020 team is not good enough anyway, so we needed to make changes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
