Any idiot can say “Hey let’s sign every high-priced Free Agent on the market”. The 12 focuses on what we can do with what we already have, to fix or improve our team.

IF QB Carson Wentz is going to continue his running ways, then keeping him as safe as possible is a must. By safe, I don’t mean his knee. He’s a football player. Some risks just come with the job.
By safe, I mean from concussions, shots to his back, or anything that could have him landing on his throwing arm and breaking his shoulder.
By the way when QB Nick Foles had his shoulder broken in 2014,
he was in the pocket.
When Michael Vick got a concussion in 2011,
he was in the pocket.
The ugly fact is, QB’s suffer more serious injuries in the pocket, than anywhere else. Four words: Randall Cunningham’s broken leg. (Four more words: Fuck you Bryce Paup.) So being afraid of Wentz running,actually makes very little sense. (Besides, he’s going to anyway.)
The best way to keep the big hits off of Wentz when he runs, is to keep ILB’s, MLB’s and Safeties, back deep. That way he can scramble for a cheap and easy 4 yards here, 7 yards there, and so forth. The best way to do that, with is a TE going deep between the hash marks.
Giving a defense a choice between giving up a 17 yard completion, or a 4 to 7 yard scramble, is my idea of a high percentage play! Either a cheap and easy short gain, or a fairly easy big gain, if opponents don’t pay tribute? How do you not love that?! We need to do that.
