You don't pass on someone like Bosa, BUT the league is trending toward the offensive side of the ball. Trying to build a team around defense is a mistake in my opinion. You can't stop the Rams, Chiefs, or Saints.
The rules are making this more of an arena style offensive game.
That why passing rushing is that much more important than ever. Look at ATL last night their the 7th overall offense and got thrashed last night by the saints D. Turnovers and sacks.
We already have the offensive mind in place which is huge just need our QB back.
ATL 7th ranked offensive ranking is meaningless. The Chiefs, Rams, Saints, and maybe the healthy patriots make the Falcons look pedestrian.
So you prefer losing 45-40 games? The Chiefs, Rams, and Saints haven't been slowed down by premiere pass rushers this year. Sure the chiefs lost to the rams, but they still scored over 100 points combined.
Ball control and a dominant offensive line can go a long way in limiting another team's offensive possessions and rhythm. I would prefer that, paired with a veteran edge rusher (better than what we have).
I have my doubts our PWILLY led defense or even the Legion of Boom would be able to deal with what we're seeing today.
I think they would. Running on those 49ers defenses was mostly futile and you had 7 guys in coverage because Fangio could get pressure with his front 4. The Seattle defense neutralized the passing game with the Legion of Boom. It can be done, but you have to have the right guys and the right play caller. Don't let the high offensive numbers fool you. When those teams meet each other in the playoffs, there will be some key defensive stop, turnover, sack, etc, that will make a huge difference in the game.
Think positive.
