Quote:I don't think our pass rush will be "vastly" improved. We went out and got upgrades, no doubt about it, but it's not like the guys we picked-up were game changers at their previous stints. I don't think we'll finish dead last though, and it's not far fetched to see us finishing in the top twenty hopefully this season in sack totals.

 

As far as free safety play, they're just letting things play out like they should. You drafted Cyprien and Evans last year, let them get their feet wet abit, now let's see how they look this year with that rookie season out of the way and under their belts.

 

Just to be clear, I'm not concerned about Cyprien, I'm concerned about the other safety.   The one that we don't know who the hell it's going to be.   I really don't think the answer is on the roster. 

 

As for our pass rush, I think Chris Clemons was a game-changer until his injury, and it is very possible if not probable that he will recover and be his old self.   I think our defensive line could be a strength this year, with all the added depth and veteran talent.  I just don't see that at safety other than Cyprien.   And that's why I'm saying free safety, the safety other than Cyprien, is my biggest concern on defense.
