I’ll say this, if this defense can’t come out and absolutely dominate Malik Willis and make him look how every other NFL team has (he once played a full preseason game and only put up 80 yards passing) then Bradley will need to be relived of his duties.

While I agree that there's a difference between building a one-and-done and building a program to succeed over years, I do not agree that this means avoiding trades and free agency. Let's look at some of the players from the Patriots dynasty... Mike Vrabel - spent 4 seasons with Steelers, acquired as FA Corey Dillon - acquired in trade from Bengals Rodney Harrison - spent 9 seasons with Chargers, released and picked up as FA Randy Moss - acquired in trade from Raiders Wes Welker - acquired in trade from Dolphins Rosevelt Colvin - spent 4 seasons with Bears, acquired as FA Rob Ninkovich - spent 2 seasons each with Saints and Dolphins, acquired as FA LeGarrette Blount - acquired in trade from Buccaneers Aqib Talib - acquired in trade from Buccaneers Darrelle Revis - played 1 year for Pats, acquired as FA after being released by Buccaneers Brandon LaFell - spent 4 seasons with Panthers, acquired as FA Danny Amendola - spent 4 seasons with Rams, acquired as FA You get the idea. The Patriots engaged in plenty of trades and free agency to build and maintain their dynasty. Yes, most of their guys were Patriots from the start. But nobody is that great of a drafter that they can build a great team exclusively through the draft. And it's also OK to have guys on 1 year deals. Darrelle Revis was 1st Team All-Pro in his only season with the Pats -- which was 2016. He also has a Super Bowl ring. -

Ballard knows he's safe and there's no pressure of him getting fired. That's the only explanation why he's so passive as a GM. He knows Irsay won't fire him because is basically the mouthpiece for the Colts and is more valuable than just a GM to Irsay. -

Yes and No. It puts more pressure on AR when the defense is giving up points almost every drive. That can cause him to play different and take more risks to make up for the defenses deficiencies. It's a lot easier for the QB to play well when you aren't trailing and have to pass or scramble all game when Steichen abandons the run. -
Ballard's career is absolutely tied to AR and we're lucky Ballard has integrity and doesn't blow everything we have to save his *. I have IMMENSE respect for Ballard on that front. Couldn't say about the Titans, but even after spending big I feel their team is worse than the Colts, so they'll need to spend even more to catch up in the division.
