Im trying to make sure I understand you.
You don’t think Ballard is actually trying to build only an average defense, do you?
He’s trying to build as good of a defense as he can. Are we on the same page, or am I misunderstanding you?
Again, I’m not saying a good D isn’t needed…well, maybe I am…. But what I’m really saying is that with a great Offensive you can win with an average Defense.
And, as to your point, I think all the teams that lost in those games you mentioned all had very good defenses.
Personally I think Thomas got pressed into playing before his time. He did a few things we didn't expect initially considering his draft position. I think ideally they wanted to take their time and train him up sorta like EJ Speed then get him out there. I'm interested to see how he regroups to be honest.
