Here's an article comparing each team's nucleus of defensive talent. Despite being the top scoring D in the NFL with a ton of young talent they don't like our secondary. Whatevevs, they also assume we won't be able to reach an agreement with Hardy.

I'm a wee bit biased, but we're a little lower on the list then I think we should be.

By definition, shouldn't a nucleus just be a couple of players to build around rather than (more or less) entire defenses?  If that's the case, name me a scarier, more talented group of 5 young/developing or in-their-prime defensive players than Kuechly, TD, Star, Hardy, and CJ... and that's not even considering the potential that Short, Klein, Mitchell, and possibly even Addison have shown this year.

they ranked us lower because of the patchwork secondary. fair assessment IMO

 

 

Perfectly stated. 

 

If we had a "prolific" DB on a long term contract the unit might be ranked higher. Sign Hardy and upgrade a DB the ranking jumps a couple spots.  I think the future is bright if you consider we have depth rotational guys in Short, and Klein.Just need to shore up the back part of that D.

Hope we can keep Captain and Mitchell.  I like Flo but he's getting pretty up there in age.

 

Our needs haven't changed and either way we're still in good shape for the draft I think as long as we don't fug up our picks.  We need a corner, a #1 WR, and some o-line talent.  Thankfully the draft is supposedly deep in all those areas.

 

We definitely somehow need to retain Hardy also.

      Best Way to Watch Games this Season??

      We put a ton of high draft capital into young WRs over the past few years. We drafted a WR in top 2 rounds of the draft in 4 out of the past 5 years. At some point, we need to rely on the dudes we drafted vs relying on veteran role players. That's the only way we're going to evolve as a team and take the next step to going back to winning again.  Remember when Cam lost KB and everyone thought it was the end of the universe? And 2015 happened.  Maybe losing Theilen and Coker will open some opportunities for some other guys to step up.

      Best Way to Watch Games this Season??

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      So apparently in the time between the end of the last football season, and now, a TON of streaming sites have been taken down. From what I remember most of these idiotic offiicial streaming services that offer NFL games don't ever offer ALL of the games. I remember subscribing to one service on youtube last season that cost hundreds of dollars and it would still constantly tell me games were either blacked out or unavailable, which is totally ridiculous. Is there any one service that I can watch ALL of the games on?? It gets on my everlasting nerves already that there's so many different streaming sites and they are all expensive as hell. I don't want to take out an entire additional car payment to subscribe to 4 different streaming services to watch all the games. Is there just ONE I can subscribe to? The most comprehensive thing I have access to now is Sirius XM. It's only 10 ish bucks a month and I can listen to the home or away broadcasts of any game. Only thing is I can't WATCH the games but this seriously comes in handy if I'm out doing something, driving, or can't stay still at the moment to watch the games. But usually I'm off on Sundays, so I mostly want to watch them.
