It's also a Sunday news item.
Some facts about our 1st and 2nd string DLs thus far:
Haven't recorded a sack yet in 2 PS games.
Were unable to force the Vikes to punt in the first half.
Allowed the Vikes to convert 2 of 3 3rd-downs of 7+ yards.
Put virtually no pressure on the QBs.
As predicted, the opposing QB has all day to run around and wait for a WR to get open, thus negating what otherwise should be outstanding DB play. Our LBs are unable to play effectively against the pass as a result too.
I should have entitled this thread "See I told you so #1". I've been saying since last season ended that not getting a name DT would cost us. But what's the use. I do not understand how the FO/TD could have overlooked this. It simply boggles the mind!
As a result, talent at DB and LB will be largely negated as a result simply b/c we don't have NFL caliber starters on the DL. Oh well, at least the coaches/GM have no excuses.
This one's on them!
