you can notice how much the pressure that Sheldon creates opens up for Cameron & Nick to make plays. Now just need to get sign Fairley to a long term contract and draft another DE opposite Cam

They were collapsing the pocket all night long. Pressure or no pressure. Harder to do on the road too

He's a lot more powerful than I thought he was.

The praise was strong for Steph his rookie year too.

Rankins has played about 29 snaps.

We'll see.

The front 7 is close to being where it needs to be. We definitely need to have Fairley resigned. We need another edge rusher and we need another top LB to play with Robertson, who has been a pleasant surprise. I think that Bell and Vaccaro are a good safety tandem. Breaux can handle one CB. We need another corner to partner which allows Williams, Crawley and Webb to be solid backups. The defense is close. The focus on offense needs to be on the OL. Specifically, upgrading Evans and finding Strief's replacement.

I think we all forget about Kikaha too, and Edebali is coming along greatly. He's been getting tons of pressures (more than Kruger anyway).

If Ede can keep playing more contained like he has been (his biggest problem last year was playing too fast and losing contain on runs), him and Kikaha will be a fantastic one two punch.

Another rusher would be great, but not as urgent as other needs (which greatly depends on who we keep and cut).
