With speedy DEs and LBs

We already have that somewhat. It's part of why our defense has been much better the last two years. Jordan is very fast for his size, Davenport ran a blistering 4.58 for DE, and Davis is shot out of a cannon every play.
We really just need one more sideline to sideline LB and to not have everyone else get injured. That used to be Anzalone but he's living up to his college rep of being made of glass.
Mark Fields was faster than LT. The play on the field told a different storyI want a speedy 4.4 -4.3 Guy at Lb also
It's hard to say how good we can be defensively because the injury bug is always floating around. I think we have a very good base and depth but now we are starting to run into money and contracts as well so we really have to decide who we want to pay, who we want to develop, and who we want to move away from.
DE: Jordan: is everything we could have hoped for and more
DT: Brown: played well, under contract, looking for improvement in year two
DT: Rankins: Health, not sure his contract info, but we need him healthy
DT: Oneymata: I think he's probably gone in free agency unless he comes back cheap
DT: Stallworth & Tuttle: Both very young and great rotation guys think we could use a another rotational player
DE: Davenport: Health, besides that kid can be animal, amazing burst, can only get better if he can stay on the field
DE: Granderson and Hendrickson: add youth and depth, I think Hendrickson as kind of plateaued, but I think the Granderson has potentional to be more than just a rotational guy
DE/DT: Edwards Jr., thought we would see more of him, looked good in spurts but guys but give you a guy that can play either or.
Linebackers: Davis is a beast, one of the best F/A we have ever signed on D
Klein: Contract is up, played really well down the stretch but I feel he's at a point where is best days are behind him & his looking to cash in one more time.
Kiko: has a pretty heavy cap hit and will be coming off his 3rd ACL tear, sucks because he plays the run very well
Anazalone: Think hes very talented but he can't stay on the field and at this point can't bet on him playing a whole season
I think we look at resigning Klein if the money makes sense, Ireland has done great at finding talent in all rounds of the draft can total see us taking a LB at some point.
The DL I think we find value free agents... If we can keep the same 11 guys on the field most of the season I think we can be a borderline Top 10 Defense in the league.
I don’t think Alonso will be back. Third major knee injury. High motor guy but still not the speedy LB that we need. Just not sold on Anzalone and with his injury history, is not likely to ever make it through a season. We need another sideline to sideline LB to pair with Davis. Stop those outside runs that killed us all seasonI just want a healthy front 7. Jordan, Rankins, Brown, Davenport, Alonso, Anzalone and Davis. That's pretty stout. Add in some solid depth. Our problem has been finishing a season with those guys still playing.
