    So did Wade do a good job or not?

    Playoffs: Cowboys got 22, Saints got 23, Pats got 13.

    Is that good?

    yeah. i sometimes wonder if he’s lost his fastball.

    he’s got a reputation for turning defenses around. not sure if i’ve seen it yet. i expected more by now. is it personnel? do they need more of a pass rush? dunno.

    with the oline being a question mark. or at least moreso than last year. and gurley needing to be managed instead of the workhorse they were accustomed to. and with the draft being particularly talented on the dline and edge. i’d like to see the defense pick up the slack. get a blue chip dlineman. draft an edge defender for depth.

    and then we gotta see if wade can turn the defense around. i think the results with the rams have been mixed.

    “Mixed results” sounds about right. Something’s afoot with that defense. They did play in the playoffs, but then what changed for that to happen? Did some of the guys finally put in the work? Did Wade finalize a sense who they were and what they could do? Then they let their DL coach go (Bill Johnson), and he came to the Rams with a strong reputation…not sure what that involved. Last year they went for some top physical talents in free agency and trades (Suh, Peters, Fowler); this year they went for savvy vets. Is that a hint of some intention, or is it just a simple difference between the market and cap space last year v. this year? And of course people remark on communication break downs on D last year. Another thing is, they have a long list of LBs coming off of surgeries–Obo, Fox, Ebukam–so we’re not even sure what they have there.

    So they played well in the post-season, but then there’s a list of questions.

    We expected a lot out of the D last year and never got it until Dallas in the playoffs.

    Hard to say whether (or how much) Wade factors into the regular season “downs” but we probably agree you have to give him credit for the post-season “ups.”

    Having Quin was better than having Suh. I feel like his departure left a hole that never could be filled. Also, Joyner’s drop in play. Also, Peters sucks without Talib. when Talib came back it was like getting two corners. Also… Suh showed up in The playoffs.
