    Wow, with the addition of another legitimate pass rusher in Dodd (finally!), a giant athletic space eater in Austin Johnson (sorry Al Woods), a ball hawking safety in Kevin Byard and an underrated speedy cover corner in Kalan Reed, we now have a ton more depth and options in our defensive packages.

    Though most of these guys will be rotational players and backups in the Base 3-4, I think all of them will get significant play, year one, in the sub packages. And let's be honest, in today's passing NFL the vast majority of the time we'll be operating in sub packages anyway, so you might as well call these guys "starters" if that's so important to you.

    Front 7: In the nickle and dime I'm fairly sure Morgan and Orakpo will stay at OLB and Casey will remain as one of the DE's. I think it's highly likely that Dodd will pair with him creating as formidable a pass rush quartet as the Titans have had in years. While Austin Johnson will certainly compete to be that other attacking end on passing downs, I think Dodd has the explosion to get after it now. For now Willamson and Woodyard will stay in the back.

    Back 5 or 6: In the nickle, I think Reed will beat out Mccain in camp but in dime I could see them both making their presence felt. With Mccourty back this will be a HUGE upgrade over what we put on the field last year. Blake will compete at all spots as well.

    3 Saftey formations: The 3 safety zone formation could become a mainstay for us with the additions of Rashad Johnson and Byard. While I think Johnson will stay in the starting FS roll this year, adding a rangy playmaker like Byard on certain formations could be exciting to watch. Especially with how well he attacks the ball!

    Overall I LOVE all the defensive pieces we added in the draft. I think our depth has been addressed greatly and our sub packages will be far more effective this year.

    Thoughts?

    I think our Nickelback sucks, but he is better than Sensabaugh so we should be better

    Just Dear God don't let BWW see the field

    Don't let BWW on the 53 man roster. I'll take Kalan Reed over BWW easily.

    Last year we were anus. At least we upgraded to butt cheek status.

    If BWW isn't on the field or hopefully not even on the team, that's an instant upgrade.

    If BWW sees the field, we will all know that this organization continues to be a complete joke from top to bottom.

    "Bleeding Wreh-Wilson" just received an anticoagulant. His days of giving up game winning TDs are over hopefully.

    Casey, Blackson, Austin, Woods, Jones all DL... Dodd is listed as DE currently as well.

    And then there's also Klug and Riopati....


    Who starts?

    Casey --- ? --- ?

    Dodd is also the smallest of the bunch listed at 277. I'm expected a move to OLB

    Hoping its
    Casey-Austin-Jones

    And a 4 DL of Dodd, Casey, Austin, Morgan

    With Blackson and Woods rotating in.

    Also- let's mention the big mess at iLB as well...

    Williamson, Palmer, Woodyard, Spence, and Wallace
    -who I expect to make a transition to inside. He's 15-20 lbs lighter than our standard OLB.

    Williamson and Woodyard start again? Can't stop the run... Or Williamson and The GB castoff: Napalm?

    Or Williamson and Spence with spence in coverage...

    All rough options
