Despite being perennial playoff teams, the Eagles and Rams also draft late and find big uglies to dominate on both sides of the LOS. When we are relegated to the FA market for pass rushers, we almost always overpay for over the hill talent. We're not building anything on defense. You can say such and such guy isn't a fit for our scheme. If so, our scheme is resulting in us getting pushed around. I realize that Philly and LA might be on a hot streak but they seem to stay retooled.
That said, I'd rather go younger with a Josh Sweat than a broken down high priced veteran who's best football is behind them. Garrett and Crosby are great players but after Von Miller I'm questioning the method.
