I was saying in the gameday thread, we just dont have a consistent pass rusher, once we get that the rest of the defense will fall into place, there isnt a good defense in the history of the league that didnt have some type of consistent pass rush

we had some years without great DEs (gibbs 2'ish). It's a lot harder to do it that way, but we had a really good back 7 back then (i.e. shawn springs playing amazing at cut rate prices, before he started missing a lot of time here, etc). Renaldo wynn started 63 games and had 8 sacks, phillip daniels had 15 in 66 starts (8 in 1 year) - jaw-dropping numbers.

memory lane, I kinda forgot just how long london fletcher played here:

Secondary, especially, corners need to be upgraded also. Imagine Sauce Gardner and TJ Watt on this defense. Watt had 19 sacks last year! Either way, I trust Quinn and Whitt to get the defense fixed. Hard to not be happy with the offense so far.
