Ummmm, if about every person on our front 7 needs replaced (which I agree with) then why not replace them first, rather than the RB who is adequate? Droughns rushed for 1000 yards. Sure, he had a great system, but that just means he's adequate instead of good like most 1000 yard rushers.A Mac aka The Truth said:With the state of our defense, yes, we need a premeir back to help keep this D off the field.
Just about every single player on the front 7 needs replaced, that will take years. If we have a really good back, it will negate how bad our D is for periods at atime with ball contro.
I didn't say that. I said the front seven should be our top priority. We have adequate players at RB. We don't on the front 7.A Mac aka The Truth said:You honestly think you can replace an entire front 7 in one year?
Even with all of our cap space, you are not going to get 7 new players....not going to happen.
It will take two, three years to get that front 7 where it needs to be.
The browns don't need this. Sure, it would be nice to have, but as NE showed (as well as many, many others), you don't need a top back to be successful. You do need, however, a stout defense.CavsDawgsTribe said:The reason antoine smith was adequate in new england was because they had such a offensive line...we need a star back, elite, top 10 back to tide us over until our line gets better. Then when the line is up we have a 24 25 year old running back getting ready to enter his prime with a nice line.
Yeah, cause everyone knows NE's defense totally sucked when they picked up Dillon.A Mac aka The Truth said:Thats why NE went out and got a star back then right?
