I've seen this talked about here and there and wanted to just throw it out there:

Are you ok with what we have on the defensive line?

A lot of people somehow seem comfortable with a slightly above average 33 year old vet coming off an injury, 3 sophomore DTs with the undrafted one the only that showed something, surprises and strong rotational guys in Shirley, Keiser, and Applewhite, then you got Nebbles.

We have a stud in CJ and Hardy keeps looking better and better...so...

What do you see happening? & What do you want to happen?

defensive line is one of the positions that benefits most from an offseason conditioning system. glad that fua, mcclain, keiser get what hardy didn't get coming off his rookie season. still a young group, though applewhite-calibre players will always be welcome. doubt any splash FA signings, but expect D-line draft pick in any round, if the value is right. focus on pass rushing difference makers.

Watching the Giants reminds me how far a monster DL can take a team! Can't throw to the receiver they gave up so much for when JPP and Tuck are getting to Matty Ice within seconds!

Yes we need a true #2 CB and if lucky get someone better than Gamble and let Gamble be our #2, but if we find a DE that can better Hardy and maybe CJ and beef up our interior then our defense improves greatly..............even with Martin in the secondary. Hardy being our third DE on the depth chart is a good problem and people need to start looking at it that way!

Agreed I have been thinking the same thingIt almost there DTs and DEs are interchangible.They all bring pressure .They torched the Birds today

      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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      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.
