Marks

McCray

Telvin

ColVin


Needs to take another step:

Davis

C. Smith

JT Thomas

Branch


I think this group has 6 quality starters for next season and the future. 2 will likely regress and 1 may reach their star potential.


Folks like Miller, Poz, Cyp will be here till they get outplayed for their $.


Even though this defense is getting shredded statistically I believe we have the majority of our starters in place for the next 5 years.


A 5 tech DE may be on the roster, but a star studded LEO, FS, OLB/OTTO, and depth is what we need to acquire (nickel and pass rushers).

judging by his last 2 games he looks like he could be taking the next step. Hopefully he can keep it up

I want to see more about Ryan Davis.

 

293 snaps played (28% of the team's snaps), 6.5 sacks and 2 FF.

This doesn't get mentioned very often, but Davis is a Gene Smith find.

Davis is a very good pass rusher, but he only plays 28% of the snaps because he's a dismal run defender I would imagine.


JPP is a FA this offseason and is a beast at stopping the run. It would be awesome to have him on 1st and 2nd down, with Davis subbing in on every passing situation.

I don't think we should give up on Gratz yet either.

Agreed. Especially if he is including rotational players like Branch/ Davis / Smith / Thomas.

I'm not sold on Cyp or Gratz as foundations for the defense.  Maybe I'm giving up on them too quick, I'd love to be wrong.
