At this near mid-point of the season, who's the likely keepers in the defensive backfield?

Alexander - the only sure-thing
King - new contract cost and injuries are a worry
Amos?
Sullivan
Savage?
Greene?
Redmond?
Hollman?
Scott?
Jackson - IMO, he's gone after the end of the season.

Of the ILB's only Martin and Barnes seem likely to be back. Maaaybe Summers?

Lucky Jaire is a superstar because without him, that list is absolute bottom of the barrel.

Biggest takeaway for me is that we need to work Tyler Ervin into the gameplan even more than we do. I feel like we have something there.

I need to see more out of Rashan Gary. He's still only 22, and he shows flashes of brilliance, but I think he needs to take the next step as a pass rusher if he wants to become a good player for us. Because right now, he's a step slow a lot of the time. It's not a lack if effort - it's a lack of skill.

Fortunately, I think he's got a good mentor in ZDS.

So I've heard it mentioned multiple times now that the NFL is likely to add another team per conference to the playoffs, making it 16 total. Does that mean they're adding 2 more byes or are they getting rid of the first round bye all together?

1st round bye would be gone

Pretty doubtful there's any schedule wiggle-room for Covid-19 problems. Play with what roster can suit up, or forfeit?

I'm sure he'll come around just enough to ask for his $100 million

Could be. During the game I was texted with a buddy and we came to the conclusion Gary is much more skilled this year, as compared to last, and that if he makes that same jump next year you might have a star on your hands.
