One thing that strikes me is something Mike Lombardi recently said on Bill Simmons’ podcast; teams that build from their strength seem to be good every year. Lombardi was talking about the Giants signing up a couple of defensive line studs and I think the same should apply to the Black and Gold. Yes, we need help on the offensive line, but let’s make sure we get some help on the Defense and keep that machine working well.
