Agreed.
The end of the season was the most frustrating of the past few years.
But we have a good team. We are not laughed at as we used to be.
As bad as they look defense is just a few pieces away from being effective: DL, FS (we'll have Cravens doing great at SS next year) are priorities, maybe another CB and a playmaker at MLB to play alongside Foster.
And maybe another DC.
I've defended Barry all season but 3rd down defense speaks bad scheme and bad play calling. Guys showed they would stop offenses on 1st and 2nd down, gotta be able to get them off the field.
Offense we'll be fine. Only head-scratching squad is the O-line. They were great at times, really consistent in pass protection. But the running game wasn't there on a consistent basis. Part of it is play calling. Part of it probably is a not so great vision by Fat Rob. But I blame the O-line for some of it, they didn't open holes consistently. Kelley was touched in the backfield way too many times.
Spencer Long did a really good job but we might need a big ass center for the run game. And maybe a LG.
There's no real holes to fill in this offense so we may be able to spend what's needed on the OL.
