The Systematic Bleeding Off Of D-Line Talent

[sharpe1027]

sharpe, I don't think we got skunked with Raji or Pickett. Pickett is a good run stuffer and Raji is a nose trying to play end. He also was over used. As the deputy said, you need at least 3 quality d linemen and we didn't have that this past season. When we had Jenkins, Pickett and Raji in there last year our defense was much better. The coaches and TT counted on Neal filling Jenkins' shoes and it blew up in their faces.

I only mentioned them because they support your statement that TT has tried to address the D line. He might be batting under .500, but not he has at least got on base.

I thought I read somewhere that TT didn't even bother to give Jenkins' agent an offer even after it was clear Cullen wasn't going to get that big payday he was hoping for.

I think that was accurate
