I have a peaceful and easy feeling about our '17 D, now.
Just consider what Phillips will have to work with...
Donald
Brockers
Quinn (healthy, I hope)
Hayes (as backup, I hope)
Ogletree
Barron
TruJo (I certainly hope)
Joyner
That's a bunch of quality building blocks, huh?
With Gaines, TJ McDonald (maybe) and Alexander to develop?
Give him a 2nd rounder DE and maybe a FA or two this offseason, and I think he gives us a helluva D. Top 5-10, I mean.
Definitely a playoff worthy D.
Keep Fassel to handle ST, and let McVay do his thing with the O and I think we're in business in '17.
