If the coaching staff is counting on those guys as being some big upgrades at those positions next season, I bet we will end up with a bunch of unhappy fans.
Spot on ! Battle can tackle but can’t cover. People wanted Murphy to play more snaps when he did nothing playing 20 snaps coming in fresh opposite the NFL sack leader. I think maybe a new DC can help I’ll literally take any improvement. Fans also clamoring for Mike Hilton back. Love him did a ton for the franchise and he can tackle but he’s turning 31 and was getting taken off the field because he was a liability in coverage. Does that improve with age ? I don’t think so. Or if we sign him back cheap and a young guy looks better during the year are we willing to bench him or will it take forever to make that move.
