But yes our DL and DBs are pretty decent we gotta sure up the middle of the Defense.. a Healthy Vigil will help but we probly have lost Burfict or at least need to put him on the Eifert Level of nice to have but not expected....
Adolphus isn't bad either. I agree on Burfict, would be a bad idea to just completely give up on the guy. Maybe another conditional one year contract or something like we gave Eifert this last year.
Vigil was much better than i thought he would be once he got healthy.

Billings seemed to settle down and show some growth, Ringo has made quite an impact in his action with the team, Glassgow hopefully is rehabbing well. In fact, I had forgotten all about Andrew Brown, until I saw this thread. Combine whomever emerges from those position battles with Carl Lawson returning healthy, Sam Hubbard having a full year of experience under his belt, and Carlos and Geno continuing to do what they do best the DL should return to being a formidable force.
Heading into '19, the battle for the interior spots on the DL should be quite competitive. If they can do the LB position justice through the draft and free agency, this defense could bounce back to playing like we've come to expect.
Yeah, still think we have a lot of talent on Defense and that the coaching has been the biggest problem. Think we should move on from every one of these Defensive coaches including Burney.
A new Linebacker coach that actually knows how to put his players in position, tackle and cover would do wonders.

I don't know, i used to not like Vigil and even did not like the pick but once he finally got healthy and started to learn how to tackle he impressed me a bit. A lot more than i thought he would.
But yes, need to add a couple playmaking Linebackers for sure.
Think Vigil plays best at WILL from what i have seen. SAM not so much.
