He's played 6 games as a Viking. What do you say that we wait until the end of the year before we jump to conclusions eh?

We've already invested a #1 in one of our new Offensive Linemen.
Niswanger will get at least another year at the Center spot.
Waters isn't going anywhere.
Taylor has shown himself to be a fairly solid player on the Left Side.
We've drafted Barry Richardson at Right Tackle.

The only position I can see them going after, as starters go, would be Guard.
Certainly we could use a bit more depth though.

Do you not see how having zero pass rush is killing this defense?

What's killing the defense is ridiculously poor LB play.

The rookie DB's are playing better than anyone we had at the position last year WITH pressure on the QB.

Would I like to have more pass rush? Absolutely.

Is that the sole reason the defense is underperforming?

Not even close.

We may have the pieces in place offensively but we seriously need to start moving the ball. I hate it how the commentators on tv keep saying "well with 3 minutes left in the half, the chiefs have yet to get a first down." Ok, maybe an exaggeration in some respects, but you get the point. Luckily, we still have the rest of the year to play out to see if Croyle is worth his weight in dirt at the QB position. If Richardson doesnt claim that RT spot by the end of the year then I do think we should go ahead and draft a guy. I wouldnt say first pick, but definately in the top half.
