And this comes from a fan base that considered Aaron Schobel to be a great player. Sorry, but Rome wasn't built in a year and we are rebuilding. We switch to either a 4-3 or 3-4. Face it, the miniature front we had wasn't suited for either.
Marcel Dareus is playing at a high level, but our defense isn't built to the point that it can take advantage of what he does, which is tie up blockers. Maybe Kyle Williams would help a bit, but we need linebackers that the opponent fears to do that- and we don't have one yet. Also, our secondary is terrible.
Spiller is a guy who has the speed and talent to open things up for other playmakers- problem is we don't have any. Ryan Fitzpatrick isn't accurate enough to be a franchise quarterback, but that doesn't mean we should focus on the QB position. We need to fix the OL and add a threat at WR.
We have the makings of a decent team, we just need guys who will put our current talent over the top. Gailey is running an offense that maximizes our talent, but unfortunately, it has to be gimmicky, since it isn't talented. Teams have taken those gimmicks away.
