I wouldnt say Im upset, Im just a bit disappointed they are doubling down on the wide 9 at a time and place where they couldve explored some other options and drafted some players to fit the potential new schemes

Saleh is no Sorensen and Bradley is no Staley #NuffSaid

Lol I remember people saying Staley was a great backup plan if Sorensen didn't work out last year. With that said I have faaar more confidence in Saleh than I ever had in Sorensen.

I'm not sure Staley was a bad fallback plan but I personally felt a change needed to be made from what we had last year…cuz it definitely wasn't working.

Saleh clearly didn't think he was worth keeping and I'd rather he have the guys he wants.

The guys on D just licking their chops, they know what they're capable of when healthy and now have their general back

We'll see how it works out. I don't think the wide 9 is an issue when we're healthy but I do hope and expect that they start to mix things up a bit more than we used to.

Still the same defense was being ran by the Texans and they were obviously not having the problems that we saw here. Personnel is as pivotal as the playcalling.

I mean thats my opinion and hopefully you're right. If Saleh and Bradley can come up with some new wrinkles, I'll be happy if proven wrong.

Yeah I agree with personnel, but Im usually of the opinion if you have great players its easier to be a good coach. Will Anderson is a freaking monster for the Texans and Danielle Hunter isnt half bad either (sarcasm implied lol)

If we somehow trade up and get Abdul-Carter and Saleh tries him being a LEO I wouldn't be mad at all.

Lack of personnel is exactly why I wanted to explore some new schemes. If we can hit on some star front seven players in draft, I'll care less what scheme we're running.

Hoping he has a big of an impact as Saleh.

he should just takeover SALEH right now !!

Very smart move.

Saleh will probably get another HC offer next year.

Having Bradly here will provide continuity if Saleh leaves.
