I'm of the opinion that last years coaching was so off, it had a major affect on the product on the field. James Bradberry didnt forget to play angles in 1 year. He's giving guys outside angles because I believe he thought he's got help, then DIDNT get help and gets cooked.
Far less about talent than about playing a team concept.
I'm willing to give Fangio this year to right that ship.
Now LB, was a talent mess.
That may well be the case, but even if Bradberry returns to form, and he, Slay, and Maddox are healthy all year, I don't trust anyone beyond those three (Rodgers has been out too long, Ringo's flashed but I wouldn't hang my hat there, everyone else is "in case of emergency" only), and Slay is the second-oldest guy on the roster behind BG (well, he and Lane are both 33 and in their 12th year, I don't feel like looking up exact birthdays), so I'm not willing to assume he's got a ton of time left before he's gone. If we're very lucky, we don't need a new top DB this year. We will within the next two years, I'm reasonably sure of that.
And yeah, LB is a hot mess, 'twas ever such and ever shall be as long as Howie's the one doing the evaluating. I'm not counting on a LB before day 3.
