Unfortunately, I think there could be a lot of truth in this statement.
A whole lot of truth. Bentley’s A good start but we did nothing the year before.

I do, unfortunately, think Hightower may be done. D. McCourty, too. It's perfectly possible both of them round into form but they haven't given us any reason to be optimistic. If they are in fact done for, that's a mighty big blow to this defense to have two of their better players and leaders fall off a cliff in the same season.
I think a trade for a competent LB and/or S is borderline essential at this point. I'm more optimistic about the DL because I think Shelton and Brown are talented but under-performing, not to mention the possibility of promoting Valentine to the active roster; Flowers should be returning soon, too.
But, yeah, LB and S is worrisome. I want to see (a) trade(s) there. Tyrann Mathieu would've been a good signing this past offseason and he didn't command much money, iirc.
I think HT is done. He's been awful.
This offseason it is time to blow up the defense. Keep Gilmore and extend Flowers, the rest can take a hike. McCourty included. Get rid of two big contracts right there.
Keep jjones and keep the 2 youngsters Jackson and crossen.
I'd keep Harmon because he is still younger. Chung and McCourty may both be over the hill.Keep jjones and keep the 2 youngsters Jackson and crossen.

D Mac has been alright, if you think there is a Mac fuking up, it is likely Jason, even through he look exactly like D Mac. There were a couple of times I screamed at the screen at a Macourty too only to realize it is Jason that I am cursing to.
The draft was our chance to get some young talent on defense. Two first rounders and we didn't use them where we should have used them.Unfortunately, I think there could be a lot of truth in this statement.
I will be delighted if he does.You guys suck. Hightower is the man and he will make you all seem dumb.

KVN and Hightower need to go. I won't be sad to see Malcolm Brown gone soon too. As far as a first round pick goes he is a bust to me.
The talent on the defense is just appallingly bad.
I would very strongly consider signing Eric Reid. He's probably the best defensive player who's still available, and this "defense" desperately needs a jolt - or 6 - of talent.
