[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 680848"] You don't see how those statements are self-contradictory in light of your earlier contention that the defense is "built" to be middle of the road which implies a design? If you want to say that has been the outcome and was not by design, then we are in agreement, though for some odd reason which I cannot explain beyond the look of greater coherence, the defense looks to me to be heading in the right direction. You should listen to what you're saying. From that statement, taken together with your earlier statement, one would conclude that the entire roster other than Rodgers is "built" to be middle of the road. Fortunately, that's not the intent, nor the current reality in my opinion, even if this has been an 8-8 roster with the exception of the QB is some recent seasons. Consider the facts. Rodgers 2016 cap number is only $5.5 mil more than Matthews'. The #2, #3 and #4 cap numbers are on the defensive side of the ball which, when taken together, equal the cap hit of the top 3 offensive players. In fact, you can go right down the line on the top 4, 5, 6, 7, etc. on both sides of the ball and find equivalence at each step of the way. There's a clear intent to balance cap allocation between offense and defense all the way down the roster, while spending the last 5 first round picks on the defensive side of the ball (I misspoke earlier in saying 4), with 4 of the 5 still on cheap rookie contracts by the way.
