Why am I getting Darren Woodson vibes........
Remember Woody played LBer in college and then converted to strong safety in NFL .......keep an on Zim looking for a similar player during the draft

The play of Wilson and Kearse was disappointing this past season.

Yeah let’s go with that word.

But since they will now be yelled at and given dirty looks, I expect a big rebound.

Kearse will be gone. He's a free agent and I don't think they will bring him back with Wilson, Bell and Hooker here.

I'm concerned about Dono playing 2 High, which, I believe Zim runs a lot. I think Juanyeh will fit well into this new defense. Interested to see how Dono and Bell are used at SS.

Let’s hope Kearse continues to stink. He’s heading to Washington in about 4 weeks
I would think so. I could see Quinn viewing him as a player to help the transition to his defense.

Woodson had the coverage ability of a CB and could run with receivers. Wilson has been more of a box safety, but if we shore up the run game, I think he could be successful as a safety in a shell defense. He plays the ball well. He just isn’t a good man coverage guy.

I'm not sure if you remember but John Madden used to say the closer Woody played to the line of scrimmage the more effective he was

Kearse is good as gone. They been setting that up. Dono had been really good prior to last year. I know we are still pissy, but Zimmers D will have more differences than just a "mean coach."
