This ILB obsession is ****ing ridiculous.
Our 2014 defense wasn't anything to write home about, but it wasn't terrible. And that had Josh Mauga at the Will when DJ went down early in the season.
DJ will be tough to replace, but it's not impossible. Hell, I still think the young guys we've got on the team have a ton of potential in terms of speed, recognition, and coverage abilities.
Remember when we had to sign Vance Walker because Allen Bailey was such a piece of shit? Oh, wait... turns out he actually is a starter-level DE. Jaye Howard? Yeah, cute that he had a nice Week 17 game against San Diego in 2013... oh, wait, he's actually doing rather well.
We're not the ****ing Vermeil Chiefs just because we didn't draft Reuben Foster. Christ.
