[QUOTE="danny daniel, post: 150093, member: 1376"] While we still have questions about the eligibility of JHD, the improvement of Kallon at DT, and who steps up at SDE, we have solidified the other positions with solid performance and depth. Coaching has kicked in as evidenced by much improved overall tackling, all out hustle and no quit effort, and strategic rotation to develop quality depth. Conditioning is also very good as evidenced by low numbers of injuries and players like Freeman and Gotsis who are still strong in the fourth quarter. The back five could use a little more speed in coverage at S and better tackling everywhere, even though there has been significant improvement. The quality depth at these positions is strong and has been tested against good competition. CB is especially experienced and deep. Safeties are well experienced as well and newcomers such as JJohnson and Kagawa could add even more help. Lbs Harrell, Macordes, Hankins, and especially Davis are a solid group with likely help coming from Alford, Jackson and especially Lewis. If a couple of these LBs step up their game to help Davis this could be a real team strength. WDE is very strong with Freeman, Simmons, and Whitehead. SDE needs one or two of Stargel, Chungong, or Merriweather to step up. Gamble is solid help depending on JHD eligibility. If Simmons continues to improve he could move over like late in the OB. DT is still the question (with JHD unknown) but Gotsis is very good and Kallon and Gamble have shown improvement. Henderson may help in a backup role (again depending on JHD). IF JHD is eligible this position could become a team strength. If not we likely are no worse than 2014. I really like to watch this defense play and if we see significant improvement, as I project we will, we could be in for another special season. [/QUOTE]
