Of course it was another DL.

Teams will just continue to pass quickly and stuff our run game. Thrilling.

Of course you wouldn't admit that you were wrong to say 2.5 hours for them to do nothing.

As for Young, are you really going to call the addition of Young just another DE? Do you also believe that the team suddenly doesn't know how to pass rush? Teams could've employed the get rid of the ball quickly strategy that you suggest for the last 4 years, but for some reason, they didn't, or ot didn't work as nearly as effective as it has this year.

Respect for the move but this still helps nothing. OL and secondary is what this team needs more than anything.

Again, teams will continue to pass in 2.5s and stuff our run.

This is great, don't get me wrong, but in the end, it solves about our 3rd or 4th 'need' and probably nothing in the end. Hell, we've barely even used Gregory.

The difference to me is that we aren't using Gregory on early downs because he's not great at defending the run. Or at least, they trust Ferrell more which doesn't allow Gregory to get as many snaps on early downs.

Ferrell, for my money, is the worst pass rushing DE we've had since Thomas. So when one side of the defense is easily handled, offenses can game plan around that much easier. Young will be a massive improvement there.

I agree it doesn't solve everything, we need to stop playing man or this soft zone stuff, and play closer to our scheme from the last couple of years.

And if, and it's a big if, Wilks makes some serious changes, I think this team can get back on track.

Randy has 63 snaps in 3 games and has one job. And Hero showed he's actually surprisingly good at setting the edge.

I agree with everything else.

Like I said with Hargrave, it's sexy but at the end of the day, he isn't going to move the needle much for the overall unit.

If we can't get home with Randy, Jackson, AA, Hargrave and Bosa, how much is Chase really going to help?

I loved the pickup but we're trying to win Superbowls here. I'll stick with my 10-7 prediction. Bridesmaid projection (at best).

How much more can we move the needle?

DL wins championships..

Agreed.

All we need now Is a good DC

Just need to take some time to say exactly how appreciative I am for having him as our GM. Dude is spoiling us so much that one of these next few years when the trade deadline rolls around, if we don't make a move fans will revolt.

This part is true. He does make moves esp. at trade deadlines. Respect.

Both Eagles and Lions have stout Olines and so we are going to need all the studs we can have on our Dline.

Fans on X already did this before the Young trade, wondering how Lynch was GM, made no sense, were aggressive when we need to be, problem is fans want 3 or 4 splash moves every year(offseason or in season), but not sustainable.

Players make plays
Coaches put players in position to make the plays.
GMs build a roster and hopefully a dynasty.

Okay.

We are bottom tier in run D. You cannot control a game as a bottom tier run D. We now do not have to depend on Drake Jackson. Its a need. If Wilks somehow gets back to what our D was prior to his arrival, they will need to be able to stop the run and rush the passer, from the edges, and they will have 3 guys that can do that not including Ferrell or Jackson..

Now I won't disagree about the O-line or corner need, but you are literally dismissing a top-10 player at his position. If passing the ball in 2.5 seconds was such an easy strategy to employ on this defense, then why didn't that work over the last 2 years? Why didn't it work in 2019? The D is going to fall on Wiks. He has an embarrassment of talent. Enough to cover for DB shortcomings. We'll see what Kyle does on the offensive side. They have their holes on O but the reality is, they have enough to get it done. Let's see if they actually get it done. I'm not optimistic or pessimistic. Just going to wait and see. After the defensive crap, I cannot be emotionally involved.

The trade deadline was over 7 hours ago. So the answer is no.

Getting Deebo and Trent back will do wonders. Defense has 2 weeks to get their s**t together + Young.
