All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

No mays about it, that guy was the worst thing to ever happen to this defense, and team as a whole.
Not to be a downer, but that's overlooking a whole slew of bad things that have happened to this team as a whole - especially in the last 10 years. Point taken though. The personnel should be vastly improved by the change in leadership.
This chart shows how desperately we need that impact pass rusher to make the whole thing work. If we hit a home run with this #10 pick and make a couple of additions and subtractions via FA, I could see us returning to competitiveness on defense.
