I'm just glad we're moving on...

Everyone wants the “big name” signing. I get it though, we’re all hungry. Nobody is going to tell me that this signing is garbage. The same people who are saying this are the same people that said “as long as Reid is around Sutton is stayin”.

I’m on board with Spags, he’s going to convince Collins to join our squad.

Hitchens might be way better in a 4-3, too, and so would Chris Jones.

You go 4-3 you can probably get away with this year one:

DOD Hitchens Rookie/FA

Ford Nnadi Jones Houston

I actually think DOD would be a stud weakside linebacker.

The only big issue here is if Ford can hold up every down as a DE.

I don't remember but does he run an aggressive blitizing D?


Edit: 88 answered my question, I guess I should looked him up in Wikipedia

They were historically bad this past year. It's time for some changes.

This 100x

We just upgraded a HUGE position in our coaching department.

Pretty underwhelming, but at this point there isn't much left. I wish that Reid would have went outside of his circle. His circle has been phenomenal on offense, but defensively not so much.

With that said, it has to be an upgrade, even if it's just because we have a fresh set of eyes, and a slightly different message to the players each day.

As others have pointed out, it's not like we need to turn into the Baltimore Ravens to win with this offense. We just need to field a D that is in the middle 15-20 range, and we have a great shot to improve as a team.

I'm guessing Ford is elsewhere.

I felt like the moves we made last offseason signaled we either wanted to consider a 4-3 or a hybrid. Hitchens has played in that front. Speaks and Nnadi are arguably better suited for a 4-3.

Guy's a JAG.

There might be a marginal upgrade here but this is organizational cowardice; known mediocrity over taking a chance on a guy who actually be a force multplier of some sort.

Even money says our defense is again in the bottom 1/3 of the league in most meaningful categories next year. If we're lucky we'll win the next shootout in January but Spags won't do anything to help us avoid it. There's just very little 'there' there. He's sizzle over steak and has been since he was exposed with the Rams. He has 1 halfway decent defense over the last 10 seasons to his credit and a whole bunch of pretty shitty ones.

I've watched the Cowboys, Bills, and Texans do it....

It is a MAJOR TRANSITION

Yeah it's almost like they were gearing up for a switch anyway. Speaks and Kpass make zero sense as OLB's in a 3-4.

Marty says this is as good as done.

You seem like a miserable individual.

We should have stayed with Sutton.
