[QUOTE="ExpatPacker, post: 434316, member: 5535"] Patriots have 2 1st and 2 2nd round picks. From a draft standpoint they look ready to re-load. Regarding our defense and its problems, for those of you saying that if our offense continues to play at the level it did that we don't need a top defense, yes that is true. But it's also like playing Russian roulette or like putting all your eggs in one basket. As soon as the offense falters you lose, but if you have a defense that can make stops on 3rd down you still have a chance of winning. Take a look at the SB. Neither the Pats nor the Giants played like offensive juggernauts but their defenses played well enough to keep it close so that they both had a chance to win it in the end. Face it, our pass rush is bad and our ability to stop opposing teams on 3rd down conversions was equally as bad. The need for improvement is obvious, unless you don't care about ROdgers and Co. having a couple of more possessions per game. And let me give you a counter-example. Take a team that had a juggernaut offense like the Dallas Cowboys of Troy Aikman-Emmit Smith days. They also had a top defense didn't they? And that defense gave them the edge when other teams came to town like the Green Bay Packers with a young gunslinging Brett Favre and Reggie White threatening to knock them off their perch. They were just too strong on both sides of the ball for quite a while and they won 3 SBs because of it. [/QUOTE]
