I keep looking at this defense and thinking it will look like the Colts last season, but with a far better pass rush. Colts took a bunch of solid free agents+ a good rookie and made it work due to scheme.
If Jones run defense looks like as excellent as it has so far this preseason, a part of that is from Frank.
I think we have a chance to be a rock solid defense by mid season.

And I just don't think it is when you've given up a 1st and a 3rd for a player and made him one of the 5 highest paid defensive players in the league.
Run defense and a solid pass rush is fine...maybe...if you're giving up a lot in trade OR in cap. But when you're giving up
both, you'd better get a monster for your troubles. You could give up less cap and no pick compensation and have gotten a guy like you're describing in Trey Flowers.
But when you're giving up more cap AND a pick haul, solid sack figures and strong run defense isn't good enough.
