Building a defense in the modern NFL

[Chris Meck]

think of it this way-

with any contact on WR's getting a flag, paying for 'elite' CB play is pointless. However, smart, talented safeties know where to be, take good pursuit angles, can cover backs and TE's, and shut down the big play.

I'd pay the money for Landon Collins AND Earl Thomas. I'd pay the money for another force on the d-line to pair with Jones.

What I'm saying is, with these rules, quality safety play>CB play, and DL rush>edge rush.
