DC is gonna be so huge from a hiring perspective. I’d hope he sold Mark on someone really good.

FloydFan Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Would absolutely want to keep a four man front. We have a great base for that and just need added talent. Linebackers are a mess though. I don’t think it would be in our best interest to go 3-4 right now. I lean Mayo because of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people won't agree with this but from a linebacker perspective we have every type of linebacker so we just need to get two of them to pan out.

Maybe it’s the coaching but I ain’t shaking a stick at them bringing more folks in. Would be absolutely ideal to stay in the 4-3. We have enough talent to give more than a blank canvas to a DC that prefers that. I think we need to look at tackle, safety, and corner in particular when it comes to defense.

I think Deablo can be a player, Perryman is pretty good as well, but it's a mess after those two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally Gillespie can play for us next season but who knows. Corner and DT are both definitely huge needs in the draft / free agency.

I wonder if we kept the four-man front but may be ran a different scheme if that would help at all. Definitely all three positions you mentioned need to be looked at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised to see us bring in a better SS and move Abram to lber. I'm not sure that wouldn't be a much better position for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure but I don’t see another position to maximize his value on the field and I also think he gets hurt a lot from being a safety and hitting full force with so much downhill speed. Also he has had a couple of really unfortunate injuries like running into that dang ESPN light cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true but at like 5'10" 225, I just wonder how well he'd do having to engage/disengage from blocks almost every play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
