Honestly wouldn't trade Awuzie. I would move him to safety. Think he would do well there. He doesn't seem to have the recognition or strength to play a man to man corner but if Wilcox takes a step back, injuries occur, or if HaHa doesn't make the cut or outplays what we can pay him, then Awuzie is a good insurance policy.

There are a lot of moving parts but I expect McCarthy to follow his strategy of if he's a good player, then we'll make the scheme fit for him. It's a 180 from our previous approach and one I had hope we'd adopt sooner or later. The defense was good under Marinelli but we passed up pro bowlers for developmental players because they didnt fit his scheme. Too old school in my humble opinion but I do think he'll do great under Gruden. There's a comfort level there and chemistry. He and Kris Richard are fine coaches but I want to see some turnovers and an aggressive defense.

If Smith and Gregory are reinstated, Lawrence adjusts to life of constant double and sometimes triple teams, along with the draft picks we took living up to expectations, then this defense might be very scary to go along with the offense. Everything changes with the injury bug but barring that I can see this team winning a super bowl. McCarthy knows what it takes and he will do more than clap and look on with indifferent concern at his team. Wish him the best in NY and as a coordinator I think he'll do fine.
