would that be Gibbs II style? Even then, Joe wanted his qb to be able to air it out, which we got to see some of (cowpokes 05
) , just not enough. But I almost agree, the focus on the D makes a lot of sense considering draft position & f. agents out there.
IMO, just because our D was #4 at year's end, doesn't mean they didn't need help. I read somewhere recently that in the last 4 losses, the D gave up something like 8 2nd half drives of 12 plays or more. I know the O couldn't maintain the ball & clock, but I really think the D was worn out & not that good by year's end. They overachieved if anything. The front 7 would have looked really weak if not for a very strong secondary. The additions to the d-line have been long overdue & LB was a weakness aside from LF by years end.
