We could be witnessing a birth of a shutdown corner that could pay huge dividends this season. With a year of experience & NFL conditioning the CB duo should take huge strides in the upcoming season. Look for Wilks to incorporate the CBs ability to play man & zone into playcalling that frees up the Safety  for other assignments. 

-This is was one my reason not needing a safety in the 1st round but it will be beneficial to address it in the mid rounds. 

-Also why pass rushers will be able to get to the QB with that extra sec aka Charles Johnson & Peppers

At its core, this defense is centered around the Rivera defense philosophy.

So, no, I don't see there being any vast difference between McDermott and Wilkes.  Much like the offensive coordinator, what they do is exactly what the head coach wants.

I beg to differ. Mr. Scot has alluded to multiple times about Rivera's scheme in SD, and how Wilks will likely incorporate more man to man schemes.

McDermott was a zone-centric blitz heavy style defense from what he saw back in Philly's Johnson era defense, and Rivera is more fundamental and let your front wreck havoc type of guy. Wilks does enjoy working with the secondary a lot, so I'd expect him to add some more flair to the style of play back there.

Fingers crossed that what you say is true.

Don't expect anything ground breaking year one. We will still be a zone blitz team because of continuity. Year 2 it might change more.

I think that's our LBr strength and based on we have 3 first round LBrs, they are the center of the defense.

This is the key with CB ability to takeaway the  deep outside threats LBs and Safety's can work  underneath to stop the quick underneath and middle passes.

      Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
