Defensive Strategy on a Tight Budget
Brandon Beane has strategically focused on reinforcing the defense despite operating under significant financial constraints. The recent roster adjustments have largely consolidated defensive depth, addressing several vulnerabilities that arose during previous seasons.
The Cornerback Dilemma
One unresolved issue remains the cornerback position. The impending departure of Rasul Douglas in free agency leaves a noticeable gap opposite Christian Benford. The challenge is compounded by the previous lackluster performance in coverage, which has raised concerns about relying on alternatives like Jackson for a pivotal role on the team’s secondary.
Looking Ahead
The current situation underscores a critical juncture for the team. While defensive upgrades have been executed skillfully within a limited budget, the unresolved cornerback position signals a need for further strategic action. Addressing this issue will be pivotal as the team charts its course toward future competitiveness.
