We are running the 3-4 so we need players for the 3-4. Everyone agrees 'it starts with the lines'. Ok to play a 3-4 you MUST start with NT. The NT holds ground so LB's can attack. We got the best guy in this draft to do just that, hold ground and maintain his gap and not get moved.
We need DE's fit for the 3-4. We just got one of the best pure 3-4 DE's who weighs 285lbs at something like 6'5" to play DE for us.
I see day 2 so far as a damn solid day. I feel this team has already upgraded and is on the right path.
Needs? QB, OLB and OL.
'But ICE the OL is the greatest need'. I counter with bull ****. Like Gailey said, Spiller just made this OL better. If we get a QB worth a **** then it gets even better. MANY sacks the last couple years were because our QB's can't read a defense to save their asses and won't get rid of the ball on time. This line produced a 1000 yard rusher with a guy not half as good as Spiller. This line is NOT as bad as media and fans want to make it out to be. This has been seen by the staff who has went back and watched game film from every angle. This is backed by us passing on every tackle available so far.
We are heading in the right direction, I just wish we had more picks :-(
Keep up the great work Nix!
