We are probably the most studied team currently in the league. Everybody has been trying to find ways to beat us since Pat got here. They designed rosters and game plans specifically to attack us and it’s worked. There had been hints that trouble was brewing, but that SB was confirmation that teams had caught up.
This offseason gave us hope that we had developed a counter punch. A powerful and young offensive line to protect Pat and open holes for Clyde. The part that hurts is that it seems we really didn’t. We made huge investments in the OL and Pat is the most pressured QB in football. Niang and Brown both look outmatched.
We gave Chris Jones a huge deal. Jaraan Reed got a fully guaranteed deal…neither is a factor in games. Tyrann has been good, but somethings missing with him. Hitchens is a no show. Sorensen hit a wall. Frank Clark isn’t even a JAG…he sucks.
This team needs to purge itself of a few of those guys and find a way to reallocate those resources more effectively. Otherwise, I’m glad I really enjoyed our Super Bowl win…
