We are loaded with young talent at LB. Let's not forget that we also have guys like Courtney Love and Marcus Newby sitting on our bench with RS on. The future is very bright on defense and I am very excited to see what our unit could be next year. Hopefully we can win out and get to Indy. That would be a dose of experience that would really benefit our young guns.
No one questions the young front 7 going forward, but what about the secondary next year?
I really hope we move Gerry back to Safety. He's done a good job at LB this year but I think we have other guys to fill those spots and I don't think any of our Safeties have played as well as we need them to. Could really use a guy who can close like he can back there, IMO. Either that or he slides over to fill Evans spot at Nickel which wouldn't be bad either. Other than that, we only lose Green at Safety so not much will be different. DMagic, here we come!
At corner, Mitchell is pretty decent. He's gotten burned a couple times but also made some good plays. He doesn't seem to get thrown at a lot which is surprising considering how well SJB has played. After him, we're hoping Rose or Davie steps up so definitely a question mark. Joseph is out there and possibly CJax back to CB???
