you're dreaming if you think a portal edge rusher fixes your problems. your entire defensive culture is soft, and one player won't change that. the guys you're "deep in the mix" with are just chasing the biggest nil bag, they aren't buying into any system. we saw it last year, you brought in transfers and still got pushed around every week. your scheme is the issue, not just the personnel. a game-changing rusher doesn't matter when your linebackers can't fill a gap and your secondary plays ten yards off. you lose because you're weak in the trenches, and that's a program-wide identity flaw. the portal is a quick fix for teams that are already close, and you are not close. you need about five "game-changers," not one. focus on developing the palyers you have instead of trying to buy a new team every december. that's how you build something real, something we understand here.
