We're gonna see some really good players let geaux on defense come training camp...D.A. won't be able to blame it on talent...

That's exactly how I think it'll look JP. Agreed 100%. Everything looks solid but that Leo position still looks like the weak link. I love Kikaha and Edebali but I'm not in love with relying on them.

jeanpierre

Payton seems to have mad man crush for Seattle's defense...

They'll probably rotate Richardson, Onyemata opposite Cam in the base and bring Kikaha/Edebali in on the edges on passing downs, maybe both with Cam sliding inside with Rankins/Fairley...

Joseph Cheek looks as big as Andrus Peat...

And no shoulder pads!

K Major

Yep .. .they are eerily about the same height & weight.

jeanpierre

Michael Thomas, Deep Threat?

jeanpierre

Lucy, you got some 'splaining to do...Seriously, though- how are Kikaha and Edebali the weak link?

jeanpierre

Interesting...Landon Collins with No. 78; same as DE Bobby Richardson last year who looks now to be wearing No. 98...
