He's the defense's X factor. His health and playing well will open it up for Landry, White, Williams and others.
 
 
If Williams and Barmore play to their potential, we’re gonna have a lot of scrambling QB’s. Gonna need willing and speedy tacklers. Think we have that. Gonna be a long pre season waiting for week one. The excitement is real.

Williams and Barmore push the middle, QBs escape to the edge. Big guys on the edge in Landry and White. If they fail and the QB escapes around the edge, the LBs in Spillane and Ellis are fast and can catch them.

Feels long just waiting for rookie and mini camps.

Feels like night and day from last year.

We were still digesting Mayo referring to Kraft as Thunder at this time last year.

We will be attacked by backs and tight ends with that kind of strategy.
But that is exciting.

Yeah that is a bit of a concern with slightly smaller LBs but at the same time, Williams and Barmore aren't exactly small and can stop the run decently well, and Spillane is a decent run stopper also. They can also sub in guys like Tonga or (gulp) Tavai if a team is particularly run-heavy.
 
I am cautiously optimistic. He was cleared for return to play last year too but that didn’t work out. He’s a difference maker for sure.
He never should have been cleared last year... there was no real reason to bring him back... glad hes had the time to fully recover

I think it's something all teams have issues with. As teams combat the modern passing game by putting more DBs and pass rushers on the field everyone is a little lighter than they used to be and have to figure out how to not get beat by backs and TEs.

We've got Safeties that can help with that and Gonzo and Davis should be able to handle their own so that we can play that way.
