If only we'd had those coaches since even '09, many outside the building could see Vitt et al wasn't getting it done...

We've lost at least five legitimate shots at a title because Sean Payton failed to properly upgrade his staff when DC Gregg Williams (overrated) left town...

Mike Nolan and Ryan Nielsen were huge gets and took this defense to another level; Aaron Glenn may not be ready to be a DC, but he's a terrific DB coach...

There really should give more recognition for Position Coaches of the Year...

Look at our linebackers with the addition of that guy from the Jets, and you look at our core now verse two years ago. Holy **** what a difference. This has to be the best defense, talent wise, we have had since SP has been here. If people stay healthy we have a real shot at making a push

-Anzalone is athletic. Looked completely like a rookie. And was injured.
-Davis has been productive behind a stellar line.
-Klein was above average and got injured.
-Robertson has been productive from day 1.
-Te'o made plays despite looking average athletically.

While a much better situation than in years past, and certainly not a weakness on the team, the group appears to be just solid. The Dome Patrol's legacy is safe.

Above average? Who Klein? PFF don't always tell the whole story however AJ graded at 37.7 & it showed. He didn't cut it in 2017.

Nolan & company addressed this in FA... hence the signing of Demario Davis @ MLB.

We are going to give Atlanta and the Panthers hell this year. I want someone to punish Jones of Atlanta for the head shot he put on Kamara that never was called. I give Kamara a lot of credit for being able to absorb that hit. Giving Davis that money may have been a mistake if he comes out and is not aggressive someone is going to have to step up our line backers need to be the difference makers this year.
