Hogan, McClain, and the Defense

From what I understand they believe both Hogan and McClain are good enough to be above average starters in the NFL. Looks like McClain will be given a starting nod unless he bombs in training camp and Hogan will be given a year to develop and full recover from his knee injury. With that being said is the following a Super Browl:

DE: Johnson

DT: McClain

DT: Cofield

DE: Hardy

Brown, Landri, and Fua rotating in.

SLB: Anderson

MLB: Beason

WLB: Davis

Connor can come in on 3-4 schemes. Also look for us to add a FA and Norwood on the outside.

CB: Fill in

SS: Godfrey

FS: Martin

Nickel: Munnerlyn

CB: Gamble

Pugh and Hogan will also get time in the secondary.

If everyone develops under both Rivera and McDermott, do you think that defense is capable of a deep playoff run?

That's not a super bowl defense, but it is a defense that won't lose games. I would still be worried about the D-line, and to tell you the truth I am still not sold on our safeties.

But, like Mad Hatter said, our team will only go as far as our offense will let it.

Young but talented Defense I trust our defensive minded coaches to max out there potential how soon though we'll just have to wait an see.

Hardy and Beason I expect to have monster seasons though just putting that out there...

I think we will be fine in the secondary if Marshall comes back. If not we will still need a free agent signing. DT might be alright with a pickup or two and a healthy rotation. We need someone to step up at DE other than Johnson. Hopefully Hardy is up for the challenge. Isn't Brayton still under contract for this year? I wonder what's going to happen with him. He never seemed to recover after his injury last year. He had a monster Pre-season before he messed himself up

My guys to watch for this year from last year are Pugh and Hardy...this year, Hogan & McClain

Additionally this will be the last year I give Everette a chance to do something before I give up on him

Add one more defensive stud at CB and I say we have enough talent for Rivera to turn us into a top-5 D.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
