That’s actually a legitimate point, though it wasn’t one of my improvement points.
Congrats!
All we have to go on is that Cable seems to have guys he thinks can do the job. And Henderson is in the mix, as could be McNasty.
Remember, the ZBS LT is not the prototypical LT. Since Cable went from Shell to Well in an offseason, I’d say he has a good chance to train a LT.

Sure. LOL! Washington over Hall? No. And Huff isn’t awful at what he does. He covers well and it’s been suggested for years he should be the FS. He’s more of a corner.
Walker over Porter?
Carter over BMW? LOL!
McFadden over Jordan? BIG upgrade.
And it’s not just acquisitions. It’s JRuss’ team now, not McCown.
Bottom line. Big improvements, whether you admit it or not.

So we can’t predict the future based on past performance, but you can.
Who makes those rules? LOL!

3 Buy coach/staff to implement plan that fits our personnel. Scheme for their particular talents. Don't be a jerk, even if the player is
If you get rid of all the prima donnas, you won't have a good team.
With the #1 defense, you only need so many points to win the Superbowl.
