away from being in the "terrible" range?

follow up: does this defense have any really good defensive talent? actual players?

Cam Jordan, Jabari Greer, and Lofton are good players IMO. Robinson, Hicks, and Vilma are pretty good. Everyone else can go IMO. Dick Lebeau and maybe Sexy Rex could get them to be okay

The DB backfield is just laughable for an NFL team to be fielding. I'm not sure where we dug some of these no names up from

I'd keep Jordan, Hicks, Greer and Jenkins. Everyone else can GTFO

I wonder how we'd be if we'd have hired Nolan instead of Spags.

As far as legit talent?

Cam Jordan
Akim Hicks
Bunkley
Lofton
Hawthorne
Greer (maybe)

Gregg Williams wasn't 'terrible' with the same talent last year.

Jordan, Hicks, Bunkley, Lofton and Greer are pretty good. Galette, IAQ and PRob have some potential.

Jordan, Hicks, and Lofton. Bunkley's good but probably in the wrong system. Greer had his days but he's older now.

There isn't another sure fire starter on the roster.

Looking at it from the wrong angle. Williams used to and Spags realized you have to blitz almost every play Bc we can't get pressure with the front four and the backend cannot hold up for really any length of time. The answer is better players. Spags is a proven commodity

You wouldn't like the answer if I gave it to you.

We need to see where Spag takes this, but it is quite possible that the best we could do with this level of talent is what we had with Greg Williams.

Personnel doesn't fit the scheme at this point.
