i was extremely disappointed with Cox last year too - especially after that huge contractbut truth be told he was getting double and triple teamed (chipped by running backs) at times. and their secondary blew.
gone are the days when a QB may hold onto the ball longer because a Dawkins, Troy Vincent, Eric Allen, Bobby Taylor (i hate the mr. softie comments - he was decent on great squads), you've got linebackers floating around like the Seth Joyner's of the world - just ball hawking in the secondary - and some of these guys could come out of nowhere and blitz - they haven't had that for years.
hoping Barnett is a STUD. Ray Didinger loves him. hoping he opens things up for Cox in the middle and he's not drawing so much attention this year.
i miss that stud safety and linebacker though that could wreak havoc - i do like Hicks though.....
he has a high motor.
it seems like he overplays and misjudges every call, tackle and he's out of position on every play.
i hated the rap on him that he was a 'small linebacker' - i was his biggest defender - 'but he's always in position to make a play and is right there!' - but it's been years. i think it's time to cut bait - i didn't think him or kelce would be around right now - curious to see when final cuts come down - and to see if kelce and kendricks are still there
and i'm curious to see who they can get for secondary help
i'll say this for season #1,000,000 - i'm thinking this is the year Ertz steps up and becomes that Pro Bowl T.E. we've all expected like Witten in Dallas.
i'd love to see Wentz have a #1 target - seemed like Matthews was it last year - but truth be told his weapons were putrid. maybe Jeffries, Pumphrey, Smith will garner enough attention for Ertz to shine
