I'm hopeful that our defense will be better because Bowles is now focused on play calling and not shitting the bed on clock management. 

Health. Period. If we stay healthy, this is a top 12ish type defense.

I don't think it is with our weak LB play but I'll be happy to be wrong. 

David staying healthy all year would be a miracle.

I don’t know man.  I look at our LBs and see them as a strength if we are healthy.  Meaning if the guys who are supposed to play, play. We were decimated last season.

Dennis will need to stay healthy. I wouldn't call remotely a strength. I don't consider Reddick a LB in the traditional sense, he's edge. Same with Yaya... I mostly mean our LBs that will need to play coverage against Bijan, Kamara, Chuba, etc.

Hard to be stacked and deep at every position.  Somehow we have done just that on offense. I hear you at the LB position but, you can’t have it all.  Tampa is the best roster in the league and should win it all this year.

This is a super bowl roster. Im worried about Bowles doing some dumb shit and injuries.

D. Jones is a near lock to make the roster because he can cover ground dropping into coverage if Dennis or LVD are injured.  Walker Jr is a waste of space and one of the undrafted rookies needs to be on the main roster.

What...you're not a fan of switching Diaby to the opposite side to appease our new pass rusher, who you ultimately drop into coverage 30% of his snaps?

Good shit.

These type things are performative especially for head coaches. IIRC, Gruden signed an extension too and then the meltdown happened and the Glazers sent him packing a couple of weeks into the new year. I would not say his job is 100% safe with the news.

 

We'll see if he has improved around the margins.......

Diaby prefers going against LTs because his game is power and according to him he wants to set up stunt games against these LTs.  Reddick likes going against RTs because he uses his agility to win so it is win/win for both playyers.  Bowles isn't going to stop dropping OLB in coverage which is why having Reddick is so important because he is a far better player in space.  Having Shaq and JPP was a blessing for Bowles but Licht hasn't adjusted or told Bowles flat out you need guys that can cover if you are going to play your OLB so much in coverage.  Diaby, Braswell and Nelson are all better going downhill to utilize their power and crash into gaps to stop the run game yes.

Reddick has had abysmal coverage grades the entirety of his career. Arizona had him playing nearly 40% of his snaps in coverage.

Carolina/Philly had him at around 8%. 

Wonder what his most productive and highest graded seasons were?

Naturally, Todd will have him closer to the 40% than the 8%; because lock down, man-to-man, press coverage EDGE rushers are super duper important.

Sacks can come from our safeties and NCB’s.

Bowles doesn't have to focus on anything other than defense now. So no excuses. Generate pressure without dropping your 400 pound NT into zone coverage

With a different DC, I’d make that Parsons trade. 

If it included Vea? Yep. 

Bucky? Yep. 

At the risk of losing Otton and McCollum? Yep. 

With our current DC? Nope.
