Who are the keepers on defense?

It is possible McClain and Fua can be solid starters in the future. IMHO our biggest question mark right now for the long term is OLB. We were planning on Davis being here for a while, and it doesn't look like that will be the case. Still could use a DT and CB also.

Sherrod Martin, and Captain are the only starters I would like to see replaced. I like Sherrod as a cover safety, but the guy doesn't like contact at all.

Our rookie DT's will be good to go under a NFL weight program, so I'm not worried about them. The only other need on Defense is the Will LB position.

If we can't get Matt Kalil in the draft, I think OLB should be our first pick.

I'd like to move Martin to CB and get a true FS, draft OLB in the first. With Edwards back and a full offseason I think we'd be far better on D then.

Zack Brown from UNC, possibly trade down to get him cause he's projected to be a late-mid first rounder.

He's the guy I want, his value could rise before the draft depending on so many variables and I don't really buy into "reaching" thing.

Yeah he's rated the top OLB, in this year's draft so he could be a top 15 pick, I really like this guy great instincts, and awareness. We can't depend on Davis anymore really sad to see get injured again, but we have to move on.

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
