Their coaching staff is nothing special either, they are lucky they even made the playoffs last season. Something needs to be changed is all im saying, coaching staff, marquee player. Beacuse they are just going to keep repeating what they have been doing. Start out like 6-0, 5-1, 7-2 or something like that. Then tank it.

Yeah if Claiborne could stay healthy, he's the fucking man. He's going back to MLB which could be good or bad, dunno. It's better than having EJ making shit reads all the time. But the thing is, if Raonall Smith could stay healthy, too, then we'd have at least two amazing linebackers. add that to udeze with two arms, and a real Nosetackle who takes up two blockers, and our front 7 will finally be what it was supposed to be last season. I was stupid to think that a rookie and 2nd year linebacker would somehow make our front 7 better. Faster, but who cares how fast you are if you overpursue or make the wrong read? Greg Biekert should have come back last season. It'd have been great.
Anyway, yea, raonall smith was an unbelievable force when he played this year. Third-year player, and was healthy for an extended stretch for the first time ever, then he got the concussions

He might have to retire at 25. If he doesn't, and can survive a full NFL season, then he could quite possibly be pro bowl material. He's an insane playmaker.
