That in no longer an excuse. The nucleus of the defense will be going into the following years: Buck yr 10, Grove yr 9, Moore yr 8, Franklin yr 8, Paye yr 5 Odeyingbo yr 5, Thomas yr 4, Cross yr 3, Jones yr 3, Brents yr 3.

I didn't include Blackmon, Speed, Womack, Lewis and a few others, because I don't expect them back.

These are Ballard's guys. If they can't handle it than he and his players should be gone.

Totally agree. Although I think Womack will be back as he showed enough to be a depth guy and is still on his rookie deal and only counts ~$1M against the cap. Although he obviously isn't anything great, so he could get beat out in training camp.
