Our weak links are at CB, SS, and DT in my opinion. With horrendous safety play, the CBs had to be perfect. Which they weren't, because Springs was hurt and Rogers should only be covering #2s. We also were a bit too weak at the point of attack in the middle of the line.
Marshall and Washington didn't forget how to play football. They're still the same guys who were part of our 9th ranked D in 2005.
My moves are cap driven:
- Cut Archuleta post June 1
- Force Renaldo Wynn to accept a paycut, if he doesn't, cut him.
- Don't resign Warrick Holdman, start Rocky.
- Let Salave'a go.
- Let Kenny Wright go.
- Sign Nate Clements, CB
- Draft Alan Branch, DT
- Let Springs play SS on running downs, nickel CB on passing downs.
DE: Carter, Daniels
DT: Griffin, Branch
LB: Washington, Marshall, McIntosh
S: Taylor, Springs (Prioleau as SS in nickel packages)
CB: Clements, Rogers (Springs as nickel CB)
Keep Doughty, Khary Campbell, Vernon Fox, Troy Vincent, Demetric Evans, Renaldo Wynn, Kedric Golston, Anthony Montgomery, Ade Jimoh, Pierson Prioleau as special teamers/depth. Add some LB depth from free agency (there are lots out there, if cap space permits, get a starter type like Lance Briggs, Cato June, London Fletcher).
