Amongst everything that went wrong last season , it was a very encouraging season of identifying and developing young defensive talent - shaq, coleman, naz, jackson, jordan, jefferson all had encouraging seasons

Mingo has been used wrong during his career. Now he's surrounded by a coaching staff that could use him at a better position, and we didn't break the bank for him at all. Another Dion Jordan.

"In an interview with 710 ESPN Seattle, Seahawks general manager John Schneider says outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo was "pretty much" the team's No. 1 priority among outside free agents. Mingo projects as Seattle's starting strong-side linebacker in base packages and an edge rusher on passing downs. Schneider said Mingo will rush the passer more than he's been asked to by his previous teams: "He's such a good athlete, people have been putting him in space and letting him run around and stuff instead of letting him put his hand on the ground as much as we're going to let him do."

This doesn't surprise me. Some time back, I talked about the impact of the loss of Kam Chancellor in how he allowed the team to not have to worry about having a real SLB because he could play both as an impact edge setter, while also going robber coverage and playing deep. He was a player that could play multiple positions where you only needed to pay for him vs paying two players to try and be as good as him at either position.
McDougald was a target in the running game in playing Kam's role when he was up in the box. Yes, McDougald had a lot of tackles in some games, but because he had a lot of opportunity. He was easy for OL, TEs, and even backs to move him. Teams repeatedly targetted him in off tackle plays. Now that we actually have a legitimate SLB, that shouldn't be as much of a problem. I still like McDougald better at FS vs SS, but some of those concerns are now negated to an extent.

This is an excellent signing. If this were Bruce Irvin y'all would be doing cartwheels. Mingo is far better than Bruce at this point.
