Brockers had a very good year last year. He's never going to be Warren Sapp and rack up the sacks. That's not his game and that's not his most important responsibility. Robert Quinn doesn't have the season he does without Brockers.
How much can we blame on Janoris and Tru? The scheme last year was terrible and played to their weaknesses.
As you said, it looks like Quick is finally starting to get it. Givens seems like a lost cause though.
Austin improved as last year went on. Ogletree improved as last year went on. Zac Stacy looks like a beast. Stedman Bailey looks like a keeper.
By definition 7-9 is pretty average, but I'm going to give our 2012 class a third year and last years class a second year to show something before my stomach starts to turn.
You've been hanging out at that other board too much.
