We are going to have our 4th new DC in four seasons. This can't be good - The Orange Mane

These current group of defenders have to learn a whole new playbook when they couldn't even grasp the last three.

How can we honestly expect anything different this season? Its all going to be "new" again. Growing pains. Missed assignments.

If we are top 20 in defense next year, no matter who we bring in, it will be a miracle.

I can't see up going more than 10-6 next season at the best.

What makes you think these players are going to be here?

BTW, given the schedule, 10 - 6 would be a friggin miracle.

You can't just, umm, COMPLETELY blow up...can you?

10 new defenders and a new DC = the titanic!

Guys who I can see being cut:

Dre Bly
Dwayne Robertson
Niko
Boss

Webster, Ekuban, Paymah and Mcree are free agents.

Other than that, we who we are.

None were working anyway, it really can't get any worse

Yeah, it isn't good, but it is our furture and hopefully we get a DC that can really put the hammer down and build it up!!

at least half the defensive players are going to be gone anyway, so it isn't like it's that big of a deal. plus as long as we can get a DC who has a little bit of a brain he will be able to install a basic version of his scheme and add to it as the season goes on, so that the defense shows improvement while also learning a new system.

also this defense just needs to get back to basics.

our new DC needs to run tackling drills until our players puke. we need to get these guys who want glory ESPN highlight reel tackles and teach them form tackling until they can't move.
