Looking at all of the players we added to make Cassel look better: Lilja, Weigman, Jones, DMC, Arenas (the returner), Asamoah, Moeaki.
Looking at the players we added to improve against the run: Shaun Smith
Looking at the players we added to improve our pass rush: Sheffield
Yeah that is an oversimplification/stretch of the facts, but you get the point.

It's a complete oversimplification of the facts.
We walked into the offseason with a shitty defense and a shitty offense. In an uncapped year, our best shot at free agents were free agents that we didn't have a shot at and 7 draft picks.
If they chose defense, they would have ignored a shitty offense. If they chose offense, which they did, they would have ignored a shitty defense.
We were going to suck on one side of the ball no matter what our strategy.
