Please go back to drafting defense next year, Bleach. We'll need DTs and LBs for sure. And continuing to invest at CB probably wouldn't hurt either. [Reply]
Nick had a rough game, but his assignment wasn’t an easy one. Not to mention, the guy has been out all preseason. This seems like a massive overreaction at this point, especially for a dude who has been lights out the last 2 years. [Reply]

But, the clock is ticking. A one demisional LB in the NFL are a dying breed. Same reason we got rid of Gay, he was a one dimensional LB. Bolton is way more one sided to the run. He should not get a big new contract. [Reply]
Who was responsible for covering Hill on third downs? Not sure if that was Bolton or Tranquill’s responsibility but whoever it was, those yards were way too easy. [Reply]

The game is changing. Those fast WR's are becoming more numerous. Then you have the ones like Rice that are quick. You will need to lose some Muscle/weight so they can at least have a chance at breaking it up against those WR's. [Reply]
To be honest I don't think he had a great year last year compared to what we've seen before. The LB room is thin, especially in coverage, but the DTs are also horrid outside of Jones. It's a bigger issue than the CB situation imo.
Hopefully Bolton gets back to the form of a couple of years back, if not we sure as s*** shouldn't be resigning him. [Reply]
