I understand the concern about not having a dominating pass rush. I think it is a huge overreaction. First I am pleased as shit at how this defense has progressed under this admin. We cannot be run over anymore. That is a huge relief. Nobody physically dominates us on a consistent basis. I love that. As for the pass rush I just didn't see any Deacon Jones' or Reggie Whites' out there. The guys people are pissed we didn't sign will, except in a few unpredictable cases, will be not be people that are keeping offensive minds stay awake at night with worry next year. And they all were overpayed. You give a guy 2 million more than he is worth and you don't have that to pay Carrie. Ballard likes to draft high ceiling guys that take a few years to develop. I am expecting some return on those draft choices this year. I am hopeful one or two will get a light turned on. I would rather root for that than hope a guy who some other team didn't want, that we paid big for, suddenly becomes our alpha dog.
