We really missed Shaq and Pink last year. We went from 10th to 77th in yards per rush defense.

The big issue is that we aren't getting much from the Classes of '17 and '18. Some of that is injury (especially Steed), some is poor decisionmaking from Manny. We should've taken multiple guys in '18, not just a DE like Joyner. I like the Huff/Brooks/Cave takes because you are betting on...

Flagg isn't fast but he can move. Here are some clips of him practicing at safety:

Just heard that an NFC scout has Gilbert Frierson rated in the 3rd-4th round headed into the season. The scout called Frierson the "New Age Second Level Defender." That got me thinking. Last year's LBs were Zack McCloud and Bradley Jennings. McCloud is a DL and Jennings moves like one. It's no...
