Gotta think Tepper is looking at an entirely new coaching staff.  The leadership here is totally ridiculous right now.  That we have not made a move at safety is unacceptable.

Do you look there first, though?

I've been a Rivera critic and I'm well aware of his flaws, but it's fair to argue that he was more successful (including an insanely good season in 2015) with a different GM in charge.

I've utterly given up on us ever actually trying to address the safety situation as long as Rivera is coach. We just don't give a single fug about the safety positions. I like plenty of things about Ron as our head coach, but his defensive philosophy regarding the secondary is one of the major things o disagree with and I feel that the NFL is ever evolving to a more and more pass happy offensive approach while we seem hell-bent on playing 1980s defense.

Mr Scot, I would fire everyone in charge and start with Hurney.  This team will go no where with these clowns running things.  How in the hell have we not looked at any safeties out there?  Fuggin unacceptable.

I would love to hear Hurney or Rivera once just admit that they have screwed us at the safety position and have perpetually devalued it.  Even if it changes nothing, I want to hear them admit this gross negligence. Our last line of defense is a fuging joke.

So my hope beyond hope, my completely not based on evidence take is that Hurney and Rivera are putting a small patch on a large rip and with the bye next week want to take that time to find a safety and be able to work out the details without rushing into a signing or trade for just one game. 

Again this would be a smart move. However, is this what our FO is doing?

    • I think the first 3 picks will be defensive players this time. At least that's how the draft is falling this year. I would not be shocked at all if our 1st pick is the number one safety in the draft. It appears he will be right there for the taking. 
    • Man oh man. That 8-9 record without a playoff berth puts at 13 if I recall, ahead of both Atlanta and TB with their 8-9 records, due to our weaker SOS.   We might have been in range to deal for that guy. I hope he doesn’t last to 8. And I hope some AFC team picks him. 
    • Cool. I am not wanting to debate or argue it. It is mostly my preferences. But a couple of things:  I just don’t think he sees the middle of the field well. But besides that I would rather spend a 1st round pick at different offensive positions if we went offense, otherwise we have neglected defense something fierce the last few years. Last 1st rounder was Horn. That’s like 5 years ago now.   Investments… gee the last 4 drafts we have used a 2, a 2, a low 1st and a top ten pick on WR. Bryce has been here three years, three of those picks were specifically for him.  And assets, I don’t think you are counting the haul we gave for the QB position. That counts and it was huge.   Add that up and add the Burns cap space we freed up when we traded him. We bought two guards and used the savings on them. Not on the defense.  I mean, that is a lot of investment in the offense when you put all that in a sack and weigh it.    peace. Appreciate your post.
