I just think that Brents and Cross would advance their game from last season. So the vet guy isn't going to be much help. But again, the rest of the team isn't AFCCG quality yet, and most decent vets want a multi year contract. The good ones who want a one year contract probably want to go to a better playoff team if they can. Lots of things work against getting secondary help beyond Ballard being a stubborn *....from a guy who has not been a huge Ballard fan here. IMO, the roster has never had a high ceiling. Its been a Division winner wild card team since Ballard has been here. Yawn. But the current team is not where it needs to be. The offense made big plays last week, but really failed to sustain any long drives. What,,,32nd in time of possession despite being 15th in passing yards? AR and the WRs still need to develop/gel before I get all concerned over adding a journeyman CB or S. That's me.

Agreed, but do you really think there is a lot of talent on this defense? Just asking. This team is still needing an above average Dline to make it work and I just dont see it. We have Buckner and hopefully Latu can be that rush end. Until someone is able to compliment Buckner and put pressure coming around the edge. I dont see this D working no matter what they do differently -
What would happen if they disguise Cover 4 and Cover 2, and allow the outside corners to engage at the line of scrimmage? Take the big play to Collins. What if Brents can put his hands on Collins, rather than letting him work up to top speed, uninterrupted, for 30 yards? Blitzing is just one element of it. There are other adjustments that can be made that don't have anything to do with blitzing.

I think they play off becasuse Bradley is conservative and fears they will get burned. I know people on this board pound the table for more blitzing. I would argue that when Bradley has blitzed, it has not ended well. Honestly, this defense is just lacking talent to really be a good defense no matter what scheme they decide to run. Sure, you could fire Bradley and may get a bump in play. However, I just think this defense lacks the talent. Gus is archaic and conservative but I put it more on Ballard as I don't think he has drafted well on defense at all. He has been pretty good on the offensive side but I would give him a big fail on the defensive side
