If any of you have concerns about McCoy as a 3-4 DE

Start at the 1:25 mark. 

The Bucs, as he has gotten older have moved him out wider at times (approximately where the 3-4 DE lines)   and actually it has been where most of his success has been at

That front seven will make YOU look like a all pro safety. I am not worried about that position anymore.

With the great contract Hurney signed McCoy to, there is still room for a vet safety

I carry many concerns along this journey of life.

Thankfully, Gerald McCoy’s ability to thrive as a 34 end isn’t one of them.

Rivera's defenses have always been built around the front 7.  We've had more top 10 and 5 defenses than not under Rivera and never really had "stud" safety play other than that 2015 performance by Coleman.

 

The biggest gripe on Gaulden is his athletic ability, and is the big reason why we question the FS spot.

I believe it was @Jeremy Igomentioned he didnt look bad in camps so far.  And actually pointed out 1 play in a practice where he was keeping up with one of our faster WRs.  So this front 7, our Safety play shouldn't be that concerning.  And if it is.  We will still uave about 6 mil floating around after this and the rookies sign

Yep, I've acknowledged this in other posts. I just don't see why we seem so hell-bent on seemingly trying to prove that we can field an elite defense without a legit FS. I mean, you'd be hard pressed to have a worse FS history than the Carolina Panthers. This issue predates Ron and Hurney.
