    Um, Langford was a stud in 2015 when he was healthy. He had never missed a game prior to that. Only reason he could be cut is if he's not back to 100%

    Stud? C'mon man...serviceable, yes, but he's not untouchable.

     

    He's not tied to this regime. Knee injuries after age 30 are usually a death sentence in the nfl.

     

    I'm not saying he's gone, but to say he's in and Parry is gone as a definite is wrong.

     

    Parry could be valuable depth, he should never have been relied on like he has. That's not his fault being overplayed.

    Parry I wouldn't assume is a goner. He has played in every game and doesn't get injured, regardless of what you may think of him.

     

    Langford is far from safe as well. New regime and he's no spring chicken coming off an injury.

     

    Just remember, days before the draft some would have bet their house some guys would be gone in the first round...you get my point.

     

    Parry isn't great, but he's always available and Langford is old and far from a stud who's un-cuttable.

    I mean 2016 was what 31st?....I can't see how it can get much worse...

     

    To me, I can clearly see how Ballard envisions a D...big, long, rangy athletes who can do several things and who will be flexible when game plans have to be changed up according to who we're playing.

     

    You can see it also in the guys he brought in through free agency.

     

    I'd be ecstatic if he can get us in say the 15-22 range on D. Looking strictly on paper I think these guys can do that (the drafted and fa guys).

    I'm only disappointed because I was hoping to find our next Dwight or Robert, those guys are hard to find like QBs. Still have a lot of draft to go so can't lose it yet.

     

    After reading up on him and seeing his highlights (which are pretty good when most, if not all came from one huge season) I'm liking how Ballard picked impact potential. Wasn't a reach when you look at our secondary.

    Took a good paragraph on one of Ballards interviews recently so I definitely get what his vision is for us...

     

    “We need guys defensively with speed and explosive playmaking ability, guys that can go get the ball,” Ballard said. “That’s important. Everywhere I’ve been, we’ve led the league in turnovers. In Chicago I think under Lovie [Smith] our defense was in the top five of the league every year that he was there, and then the last few years in Kansas City we’ve led the league in turnovers. And look, that was a big reason when we drafted Marcus [Peters], his ability to go get the football. Extra possessions in games, I think the average is nine, so the more possessions you could add by taking away the football is important. So the more speed you have, the more athleticism you have, guys with hands, guys that can catch the ball, guys with that can run so when the ball pops out they can get the ball, we’ve got to continue to add those type of players.”
