And even when he had them they didn’t deliver. So either this guys concepts are too difficult for normal NFL players to grasp or are players just suck. He’s leaning towards the we suck and need personnel narrative. He should look at his “concepts” as well. That’s why I would prefer he bring in an experienced guy who shares his philosophy but can either teach it better or tweak it so it works better.

Who at DL should we retain ?
The list is very short.
LAC need #1 is several 1.5 Gappers who can find the football.
It does not mean that this is the first thing we address.
BPA, impact must be factored in.
The problem is not the concepts,
but the personnel IMV.
Last year, the focus, in several ways, was Oline.
This year, it's Dline.
In the draft alone, there are 270# 3Techs to 370# OTechs.

Norv Turner would strongly approve of that message.

I'll assume it's a no but would like to be pleasantly surprised.

Need to bolster the DL as he said with an edge and a couple DTs, need a CB and another LB and better depth.

I do know how anyone can look at our defensive personnel,
and say the problem is scheme.
The off season moves will speak for themselves.
With so many unsigned Charger defenders,
Staley will not be literal on this...player agents.You don't know ball

If pickings at corner were so desperate, why not pick one at the tail end of the 3rd round? They had their selection of them.

Staley floated out there at his press conference the idea that some defenses require 3 - 4 years to coalesce. Patience!
Norv Turner would strongly approve of that message.
