I understand it's super early @ camp but looking at this current roster ...

There is a 33-year-old Demario & second-year player in Pete. After that, it gets dicey. Someone else at camp will need to step it up & make a serious impression on Ryan/Kris and Allen.

17 games + the postseason is an absolute grind.

The keyword here is DEPTH.

Something else to consider is something rezburna pointed out a few days ago. With the talent and depth we have at DB we may be seeing more dime and even dollar packages. The LB depth required for a standard 4-3 is much greater than running a 4-1 for a sizable chunk of defensive alignments. We may end up carrying fewer LB's than what we have in the past given the lack of need.
