I am thinking they flip where the run D is closer to 23 and the pass D closer to last years 32. I just don't see the pass rush being impressive, especially if they are getting rid of Clowney. Thankfully they were able to keep Jackson but if horn goes down again it could get comical.

The offense is betting on Moton's knee holding up and the defense is hoping their $100m CB can play more than half the games.  He has missed 29 games.

I trust Dan to be aggressive next off season to address our safety/CB issues next year. Dan has been aggressive addressing each position one off season at a time. Year 1 was o line, year 2 was defensive front. 

I mean we have Horn as CB1 with a lot of cap space allocated to him. Jackson seems fine as CB2 and Chau looked good at NB. We 100% need some depth and a FS but nothing like the OL/DL overhaul they did these past 2 years. Moehrig and Horn are the their expensive secondary pieces going forward.

Justin Simmons please. He's far better than the other options being discussed in here. He's more expensive but if we were supposedly trying to trade for Tee Higgens, then we can afford a better FS than Marcus Williams.

the ONLY issue I have the Morgan's draft is that they went RB Etienne at 111 and then Safety (Strong Safety) Ransom at 122. Having signed Moehrig, they should have drafted Bowman (who was picked at 118) at 111 and hoped for Etienne at 122.

Christensen re-signing eases some of my concerns about Moton in the short-term. Yeah, he's not Moton but it's not like we're going to have to trot Byron Bell out there if he can't make it.

When asked about Ransom Morgan was clear to describe his role and a strong safety but was quick to add that he can play deep as well.    Said the same thing about Moerhig.  I think we are going to start both and their roles will be interchangeable.  I think either could play up and either could stay back.  I think both could play up and both could play deep.  Think of this--if the C identifies the mike LB, the QB has to be aware of the free safety.  What if they switch?

Does it matter if neither can cover? LOL

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By bandu · Posted

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
