We will see how this turns out.
This wasn't just about the Tunsil trade. I was about a commitment to protect Watson. Trading for Tunsil/drafting Howard (Who BTW didn't play against the Saints.) and Scharping means this franchise has gone in a long overdue new direction. You can disagree with the Direction but there is a new direction. Protecting Watson is job #1, unlike what went on in previous regimes.
I think it hilarious how you think what they’re doing is some kind of awesome new direction. What they’re finally doing with the o-line is the same damn thing they did with QB for years. Band aid here, band aid there, finally get fed up and now you’re desperate to get it fixed to where it ends up costing you more to do so. Not just in draft capital, but time as well. That’s not direction, that’s desperation to cover their gross incompetence of putting a football team together.
So yes, they’re finally seriously trying to really address the OL, instead of bringing in more band aids. But it’s almost because they’re forced to do so, just like with QB. That’s not direction. Well, it is but that direction takes you through a bad neighborhood at night.
Now you’ve got the same thing going on with the secondary. Bringing in these 1 year band aids year after year until you get to a point of desperation there. And because of the price you had to pay to fix your incompetence at QB and OL, you don’t have the resources to dig yourself out on defense.
Hell of a direction they’ve got going on there.
