Yes, we need playmakers, we have the foot soldiers, now we need a star or two. I totally get the philosophy behind signing cheap, young, supposedly athletic DL the last few years. We didn't have much cap flexibility and were taking low-risk gambles on guys who could potentially be coached up and play 20 or so snaps in a rotation.I don't think we're with out talent on defense. It's just that outside of Lee we really don't have playmakers (especially at pass rush). Most of the guys are just "solid."
As far as marinelli, he seems to have at least some input in personnel. He was happy as shit when we took Gregory. And passing on Floyd apparently was a marinelli thing.
It's not like they send him out for bagels while they discuss what defensive players they like.
It's different now though, we have decent enough depth but we need difference makers, and obviously there should be more cap flexibility with Romo's departure.
