I've said this in other threads, but I really would like to see Lee and/or Christian Harris (even though he will probably extremely raw) rotate in for McMillon early and fairly often. The offense will be good enough to mitigate any mistakes that these guys will make early on. Having these guys get quality experience early will pay huge dividends later on. Obviously you give McMillon a chance to show what he can do, but IMO it would be very beneficial to rotate often and let the young guys go through their growing pains.

As for OLB, losing Anoma sucks, but I think Chris Allen is going to turn some heads this year. The kid is a freak and I think would have played significant snaps last year prior to his injury. We'll see how he rebounds from that injury, but physically, the kid is a freak.

Regarding Golding, like y'all said, he has to get better from last year. I'm optimistic. I think overall the defense as a whole should be improved from last year. Moses needs to have a huge year. He's got the tools, we'll see if he's developed the instincts and mentality that our other great backers had.

I think the negativity towards Golding last year is over done. He may have taken over play calling later in the year but that couldn’t have been easy.

I agree if Golding can’t get it done Nick needs to take the DC headset over and start calling it himself. Pruitt was fantastic at adjusting on the fly once the scripted plays were over. Which is something I wasn’t always happy with even under Kirby.

i'm curious if goldings issues last season were his knowledge of defense as a whole or just his first time coaching ilb's. he has a year of coaching the ilb's now. that has to help communications.

terrell lewis, as talented as he may be, the only question is, can he get thru the whole season. i sure am pulling for the young man.

Yeah, I'd be all for getting these guys in games as soon as they can even sort of handle it. And I should've said there likely wasn't an immediate upgrade at ILB coming in, because these two really do have a lot of potential and may eventually be better than what we had last year. I just think both will need a lot of seasoning before that can be the case.
