It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I don't think safety is MAJOR, but I would like a versatile pure coverage S for the secondary to move around. I'm not down on James Sanders as some others seem to be, so it can wait till next year. I will admit sanders is not a burner, but he is by far the smartest defender we have back there.
Except for Merriweather, our safeties cover very well in our soft zone defense. The problem is they can not cover for long and that is where our lack of anything resembling a pass rush hurts.
I think NT is more of a need than DE.
I am astonished that you are still trying to defend this point.
I have been pounding the table for Kenrick Ellis or Phil Taylor ~ or both!! ~ since October, but if we draft either of them, it will be to play Defensive End, my friend.
We have several good situational Defensive Ends, but, with Ty Warren working his way back from an entire lost year, zero ~ ZERO ~ guys who we can even PENCIL in as a starter.
For those of you scoring at home: That's "ZERO."
Our Nose Tackle, meanwhile, is a guy named Vince Wilfork.
I am saying yes Kendrick and Taylor can play DE but also NT to protect and fortify that position.
I think NT is more of a need than DE.
No, that is what I have been saying since back in October.
THIS is what you are saying:
It seems you are now fundamentally changing your position, while pretending otherwise.
It would be simpler, I would think, to admit your mistake. We all make them.

We have a starting Nose Tackle ~ an awesome one ~ and ZERO definite starting Defensive Ends.
It's not complicated.
