[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 485685, member: 7277"] 1) We are a draft and develop team. We aren't going to go after big name linemen in free agency. Saturday was probably the biggest name we'll see, and he couldn't even beat out EDS by the end of the year. When you're a draft and develop team, you focus on keeping your own guys like we did with Lang. If you thought our defense looked bad on Saturday, wait and see what it looks like without Matthews when we can't afford him because of pricey offensive linemen that may or may not pan out. 2) As far as the O-line, I don't think they could have done much better than they did on Saturday, and that was with the patchwork O-line. Next year, they'll have Bulaga and Newhouse back. I'm okay with drafting a center, but just cutting Newhouse or Barclay and signing a big name tackle is the Eagles panic approach and it isn't the answer. 3) Pro Football Focus had us as the 12nd ranked O-line in their last update. We are not as bad as people think. Many, many of our sacks are either on Rodgers, or coverage sacks on the receivers not getting separation. We'll grab another guy in the draft, and we have a number of young guys with upside. 4) There needs to be a continued focus on defense. All the protection in the world for Rodgers won't help if the defense is giving up 45 in playoff games. [/QUOTE]
