Not sure. I don’t have the vast resources that these general managers have at their disposal. I did like Bud Dupree, but he’s coming off an ACL injury. No matter, you don’t negate a position just because you value a position more than the other. Nobody has said negate or ignore the EDGE. The idea is to prioritize a strong/deep secondary. That strong/deep secondary looks weak and thin at the moment. Are we to believe Graham completely forgot how to coach a defense in one offseason?

We hired the wrong guy then. Grahams last two pits stops valued corners backs over Edge rushers. It makes sense these days. Designing your defense around one of the scarcest positions in football is probably going to take a while. Colleges haven't been producing Edge rushers at a great clip. Corners backs, cover lbs/hybrid safetys and more nimble DTs are what's coming out of college. That is what you have to design for. What edge rusher would you have gotten in the draft or free agency the last 2 years for Grahams defense? Not sure. I don’t have the vast resources that these general managers have at their disposal. I did like Bud Dupree, but he’s coming off an ACL injury. No matter, you don’t negate a position just because you value a position more than the other. But you have to find someone that is better than what is your roster atleast. I just don't know if we would have gotten that in the draft or free agency since Graham was hired. I argued for Kwity Paye this past draft and it wasn't a popular opinion. I was very happy with AO in the second. I am with you on the need for pass rusher. The question is who? How much would you give up for an Elite one?

Two sacks so far, and he should get better as the season progresses. You can never have enough edge rushers. We won on that premise, and now seem to have forgotten about it.

I guess the fact that Ximenes is on the roster and starting means our secondary talent pretty much sucks.
Am I missing something?

It's a different back end look than what we ran last year.
