The answer is no
I read that it sounds like Matthews will be working inside a lot more than he did last year.That's what I'm afraid of. I wonder if they have considered switching some people around. Could Janis play defense? At least he has some speed.
We still have Daniels inside on the line don't we?I will go out on a limb and say our corner back situation will be surprisingly good in 2017. I know you can't go anywhere but up after last season, but with solid help from the return of House, better health for Randall and Rollins, and Gunter not having to be our #1, I really think the secondary can at the least look how it did in 2015. And if we somehow draft a stud corner who can make some sort of an impact in his first year, or a Dorleant/Hawkins type takes a significant leap in their second year, then that can only bolster the secondary even further.
My biggest concern is actually the pass rush. Clay has to be moved inside, or at the very least be moved around more so he can actually be effective. Now that leaves just Nick Perry rushing the passer. Ted has to sign someone that can help or we have to literally pray that he lands a superstar pass rusher in the draft. Lowry and Fackrell won't be nearly enough to make an impact in 2017.
I'd consider a firing of Capers before giving up on the guys out there. Our two safeties are awesome, I feel like when Martinez and Ryan were out there we were good at stopping runs (no team is going to stop the run every time though). Our problem I have felt is when Matthews is healthy and out there he was basically the only guy... Perry was hurt and in/out most of last year and Peppers though he was a presence is 100% a shell of his former self.This defense can suck a dick. As I noted early in the year, I just don't have confidence in the front seven...and I no longer have faith in the secondary. Neither Martinez or Ryan are pass rushers, nor can they cover. Liked them against the run at times, but that's it....Perry's had one good year, Clay is a shell, Peppers is gone.
I would seriously consider a 4-3, but there's very little personnel to support that scheme.
Can we clone White, Green, Woodson, and this guy? PleaseIs Reggie White a free agent?

I have a friend up here in WA that has a GB Al Harris jersey.. he still gets dirty looks from guys in Seattle from time to time.
Fucking TT.Welp, Barwin is no longer available. Rams snagged him up.

Yeah, and hopefully Kenny Clark takes a leap too.
