dood....we sent 3-men 10 times and 5-men 5 TIMES! How much more living on the edge can you get! lmao.

It's crazy to think that they knew this was the philosophy they wuld run but didn't draft or sign an edge rusher in the off season.

Instead we got a locking TE and a really expensive DE that 'sets the edge'.

It makes perfect sense when you consider ineptitude as their greatest strength

Interior rushers in hand and daniels hurt..Flowers always got consistent pressure. Bryant hurt too. Kennard signed previous offaeason and Okwara got a new deal.. they tried to address. Very much so

They had a top 10 pick. They should have addressed the D with that pick.
