Get rid of average talent like Sorensen, Ward, Kpass, Pannel, Okafor etc and really focus on making this defense a top ten unit against both run and pass. QB's like Mahomes usually win championships when you give them a decent defense.

The defense didn’t play their best, but they were not the problem. The B.S. officiating was. They were on the rough end of several bad calls and they let it get to them and didn’t respond well. You don’t gut the entire unit because of one bad game. They are a still a solid D overall. Could they use a few upgrades (LBer, another pass rusher)? Yeah. But overall it’s a solid group.
The real problem was the patchwork O-Line (we need more depth, at least better depth) and Andy’s coaching. Some really terrible decisions by him. Maybe the Brit thing really was throwing him off his game? I don’t know. But something wasn’t right out there. Yes, the officiating was one-sided and went down in TB’s favor, but that is not what ultimately cost them the game. It certainly didn’t help, though. |

I want most of our picks and attention on the offense. More weapons,better OL. Our defense is fine when it is complimentary to incredible offense. We have a generational QB in his prime. The ultimate weapon. In the Super Bowl that weapon never got to fire because: OL couldn't give him time Weapons other than Hill/Kelce couldn't get open fast. On defense I would like to add another pass-rusher and a 3 down linebacker. But ONLY when the value jumps out on the board. Otherwise keep stacking our strength. |

The defense was completely overhauled two years ago. Very few guys left from the Sutton defense. Room for improvement sure, but there's a night and day difference between what the defense looked like when they lost the AFC championship game. Need to add a quality edge rusher and maybe a linebacker, but otherwise the focus needs to be on the offensive line.

We had an opt-out and a doc-in-the-box-out. That really hurt us. What they did should not be forgotten. And not in a gracious way.
I'm NOT saying that would have gotten us over the hump, but it hurt a LOT. |
