So clearly, guys didn't know what they were supposed to do. OFTEN. It's gotta be better than that. I mean, we aren't lining up guys off the street here, there are some high picks on that defense. |

Awesome man. All of these were missing from last years __efense. As soon he mentioned these 3 things, we now know this defensive culture is going to change. Scheme or no scheme, and regardless of the formation....The defensive philosophy that he is emphasizing on already makes us better. Way to go Spags! Way to go!

It's infuriating because as much as some would like to claim "lack of talent" or anything else that absolves Bob, the fact of the matter is that a well-coached, disciplined defense with even less "star power" keeps Brady from going to overtime.

With some sound coaching and a couple of more legitimate starters you'd think this defense could move up at least 5 spots in both defensive ppg and ypg. That would put us at about 23 ppg (26 ppg, 2018) and 370-380 ypg (405 ypg 2018).
That should give us a pretty good shot at the SB. |

Berry 9.5m Sorensen 2.7m Eric Murray 2m Ragland 1.3m That’s about 30m in cap space...plenty to go get a couple guys that can help us. Also, extending guys like Hill and Jones usually doesn’t effect the current years capdollars as those would likely be extensions added to the end of their current deals. Another factor I’m sure Veach has in mind is comp picks. Guys like Morse, Conley, Nelson and Bailey will likely get nice FA deals that should get us nice comp picks in next years draft if we don’t go crazy in FA. Maybe even a third and fourth. Those are going to be important. Especially if we try to move up in this draft to get a couple coveted guys. |

The extension thing is also irrelevant, I didn't include it in my figures for the working of the cap in 2019 anyway so I agree with what you are saying there. There's some doubt on Berry to as to how his injury guarantees work, if he chooses to have surgery and whether that will fully guarantee his 2019 salary. I don't know the answer to that, but it is possible. And lets say you make all the cuts you suggest, assuming you tender Lucas you are down to 2 safeties and 3 corners total on the roster before the draft (and those 5 guys have minimal starting experience outside of Fuller). You're going to have to add 5 bodies there between the draft and FA. You would also be short at both DE and LB unless you drafted one of each, and that's not even considering you only have 1 tight end on the roster, I think only 2 running backs and you aren't replacing Conley or DAT (maybe you love Kemp and Dieter, if so that's fine). I'm not being all doom and gloom here, I'm just saying to get an impact FA you probably have to either let Ford go (walk or tag and trade) or you have to cut Houston or Berry or maybe both - which is also what you are saying. Of those options, if you can cut Berry and keep Houston/Ford I think that is probably the way to go. My 2nd best option is the tag and trade of Ford I think. |

That being said, lack of talent was still a HUGE issue in the secondary. |

This makes me realize that they are really not in a bad situation with regard to the cap. If they cut both Houston and Berry they have plenty of cap space available and plus they can cut those other cheaper deal players. |

Always use over the cap instead of spotrac if you want accurate cap savings.

We might very well have great young talent on this team, but he wouldn't play them and they couldn't pick up the scheme quickly enough. I think there is a potential for a MONUMENTAL turnaround on this defense. |
