Next year's D...

Why is it assumed we will get a pass rush from McCord & Terry?

I have no confidence in Swasey at this point.

Swasey is nothing more than a cheerleader puppet implementer. He does nothing but implement the strength and conditioning plan that Al gives him. He's not doing any of that stuff on his own. That's why I'm perfectly OK with Swasey as our team's cheerleader/personal trainer.

This is not a defense of Swasey, but our team was stronger this year. We need more experience, more technique work, and more talent. Both of the players you named were true freshmen. McCord played very well for a first year player. Terry didn't see as much action as McCord, but he too played well.

Nah. No way players get better as they gain experience and physically matter. Ed Reed was the same player as a freshman he was as a senior. Same with Warren Fapp and all our other greats.

I think Bond might get get chipped to death by the tackle once opponents understand his role. The staff needs to develop his talent, and he'll be a real weapon on the outside along with McCord.

Tackles don't chip.

Depending on Porter is asking a lot. The only thing we can count on is him missing at least half the season or more.

Ivery and Moore have to make an impact next season and Pierre needs to take that next step.
