Hill and Slaton are both good run defenders. Ossai and his agent both think next year will be big, why else sign for 1 year? He got 5 in his last 7 games. We got a little LB help with Burks.
I think our approach with the D in FA has been correct. The FA DT/Edge class was not great, and guys who are dituational pass rushers are getting $26 mil. The Edge/pass rushing DT part of the draft is strong. Take 1 of each early and our rotations on the DL are set.
My beef is:
1) Not getting Tee/Chase deals done earlier to lower their cap hits.
2) No Burrow restructure to free up cap.
3) No IOL help yet.
4) No Trey extension
But Trey, Tee, & Chase ARE still here, and likely will be. There are some quality Gs left (Jenkins, Becton, Zeitler, Scherff).
My pitchforks & torches are in the garage, but I am not busting them out just yet.
That’s a good size-up.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
