Bill B Presents TMC's Pick the Position Poll

I also said DE, for a couple of reasons.

1 -- because DB's don't need to be world beaters if they don't have to keep coverage on a play for 5-10 seconds.

2 -- because of simple math and physics. Even a small disturbance at the origin of an object's trajectory can cause a huge change, whereas often even large disturbances at the end can still be compensated for.

3 -- because DB's don't help that much in run support, either.

Good points. But my biggest thing is, the DE helps force those errors. I think we'd be surprised how much better our secondary would look with some help up front.

I don't care how good or fast you are, you can't cover an NFL receiver forever.

Well stated. I've said it for 13 straight years.

And thanks for the physics lesson. I never understood it before now!
