Very nice inaugural broadcast, fellas! I can't wait until more and more of our in house professionals begin to participate. I'd get involved, but then you all would have to take 2 weeks to recover from all the knowledge bombs I'd be dropping.

Hey now ! Nice job guys.
Nice job guys.Good stuff.
I'm not entirely sold on McDonald. I really hope he can prove me wrong. The thing that worries me the most is the inexperience we have on the back end. We may have the talent, I just hope we don't have too many growing pains back there. We have a pretty young secondary overall. Well, I guess we have a really young team too overall lol. :tooth:

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

That's righteous guys. Keep it up. Good conversation
I had forgotten about the Giordano signing. He'll provide good depth. I think there will be bumps along the way, but our safeties have a much higher ceiling than their counterparts from last year.

I'm pretty much in total agreement.Username said:
I also agree with Lesson in that our safeties were bad last year, especially Dahl. I thought Mikell played well, but I honestly believe that Stewart can do at least nearly as good of a job if he can stay healthy. The big hole was obviously FS where Dahl might have been the worst in the league. Even if TJ McDonald doesn't come in and play like a rookie of the year and even if he makes rookie mistakes, I think that means he will still play as well as Dahl did (who made plenty of mistakes himself).
By maturation our CBs should be better which can make up for some of those deficiencies and having a LB like Ogletree who can cover may also make up for it. The DL should be better next year with Brockers and Quinn having another year of experience and Langford having more experience at DT. Also with OLB Dunbar and Alec rushing the passer it makes our pass rush even better next year (scary to think about considering we tied for the NFL lead in sacks). A good pass rush can make your secondary look pretty good. In other words, even if McDonald doesn't set the world on fire as a rookie, I don't think he'll be as exposed as if they played in Oakland or Jacksonville who had a very poor pass rush.

My man totally forgot about Bradley Fletcher when talking CBs last season, who was some what established here minus some injuries but was a big part of our D in the first half of the season and truly only lost his spot because coaches needed to some tape on Tru (who finishes strong btw)...But no worries, no worries. :yeh:
Great listen. This is really cool. ROD just keeps expanding and expanding.

Im totally impressed guys! Great Idea and great job encompassing it into a podcast!
My feeling on our S situation is I really think it will take McDonald until next year to get acclimated into working out and I'm not sure what our SS situation is going to be like. Let me get this right our two safeties are interchangeable now right?
