OL and Secondary should be our biggest question marks.
Although I can't say I'm not thrilled at the idea of seeing how Fields gets on too.
They also have to think about life after Mack since they dont have a first round pick until 2023.
If we dont have that OLB to motor this 3-4 base then theres no point in even running it.
To me it would be the equivalent of trying to run a 4-3 Tampa 2 without a 3 technique. It just wont work.
I believe that Mack will be around 32 or 33 by 2023 thats a little long in the tooth for a guy who basically motors your current defensive scheme.
I know many want an offensive identity moving forward and I can understand the reasoning.
Yet that and all the rule making in the world from Goodell and his merry band of woke execs still wont change that the franchises that still play the best defense, under any given trend or era, will still find themselves in the postseason more often than not.
I do suspect more future draft capitol will find its way to the offensive side of the ball than were historically accustomed to.
But when they do draft defense with the early picks they will at the very least have to focus on the key positions of a 3-4 base like OLB, CB(as you mentioned)early& NT in the later rounds. ...
