Dalton played well...but don't talk about him like he's Mitch Trubisky. He started for nearly a decade and had rating level named for him as the most borderline good/bad starter in the NFL for years. He's had more than his share of moments of brilliance...mixed with his Kurt Cousins moments. He is the original Kirk Cousins. Sure. Still, I don't think we should be talking about how the defense is average. They had a 3 game stretch of decent play but through 10 games, I don't think we can call them average as a unit. Sure, Kendricks and Smith are awesome. Wilson is opportunistic. The young guys look like they belong. Its still not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With how defenses are today, it is still average as a unit. 25 years ago, these performances would be bottom 5, but that was under different rules. To put it another way, right now, they are the Kirk Cousins of defenses...moments of pretty good play, and then moments of "what the hell did you do there?" But, unlike Cousins, their moments of "what the hell?" are because of inexperience. They'll get better over time...at least I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll agree that the mistakes being made from the corners has a lot to do with experience, but a lot of the “wtf” moments start with a complete inability to make a play along the line of scrimmage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can agree with that. The pass rush needs to be better...while I don't expect it from Stephen, they do need to get some more push from the 3T. I think we can all agree that that should be a priority for the draft, along with the OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierce and Hunter will help the defensive line more than any draft pick would. Looking for someone to play DT next to Pierce would be good for sure. There will be a gaping hole at safety to address but I would rather take a hole at safety than not improve the DT situation next to Pierce. My priorities would be QB, OL, DT, S in that order with depth at other positions also a concern to consider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RpMc Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I was pretty pleased with the offense given the state of the interior of the offensive line. Outside of Dozier and Rudolph, I would expect, and want, all major contributors back in the fold for the sake of continuity. Reiff is going to be an interesting one to watch, he had a very good year on a paycut, but is he going to be too expensive to hold on to/will he want to go elsewhere. I thought Rashod Hill played well in his place on Sunday. It will also depend on if they feel Cleveland's ultimate home is at tackle or not.

SemperFeist Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I would think that Klint Kubiak would be next in line, but Lynn would certainly fit in a lot of boxes for Zimmer. Hard to say how good of an OC he’d be. He’s never really been a team’s true OC before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywindO2 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I think Lynn would be a good fit. Jay Gruden became available too, have to think he'd be a possibility too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
