If I’m not mistaken, Josh Rosen gets a ring for his time on the practice squad

Bowles did a great job

interesting D line up:

two DTs -- Vea and Suh

two OLBs -- Barret and JPP.

two iLBs-- (who can run)-- White and David

Five DBs, two high safeties.

they dared KC to run. KC never really stuck with it.

Their CBs could tackle and their ILBs can cover. Even if KC did try to run all the dline had to do was clog the line of scrimmage and the people behind would clean up.

Actually we were closer in 2014, odds were against us when we had to start Lindley
Nah the 2014 team was more flawed than the 2015 team despite what the record was before Palmer went down.

Also didn’t blitz much, so went against tendencies. Bowles is a stud when given talent.

Look at all the former Cards that have a ring.
Blaine Gabbert
Drew Stanton
AQ Shipley
Kevin Minter
Deone Bucannon
Ted Larsen

The entire coaching staff with the exception of Amos and Bettcher, etc.

Bowles being DC in 2014 makes that team better than 2015 by itself
We had not a semblance of pass-rush in 2014 while being sketchy on offense even with the games Carson played. Got lucky with the QBs we faced that year too.

No chance to have Bowles back but I would have called Ray Horton from retirement, he was the first defensive coach who changed completely the level of our defense

That 2014 defense could have stopped anyone. If only we had a decent/serviceable quarterback instead of Lindley on that fateful game.
Kirk Cousins
Colin Kaepernick
Eli Manning
Rookie Derek Carr
Austin Davis
Nick Foles
Brandon Weeden
Shaun Hill


We somehow got by against Rivers & Stafford, but otherwise, that list is terrible. We had no pass rush, ILBs, & CB play were inconsistent this year. Had similar problems in 2015 with the exception of CB play being a lot better. I’m positive we would’ve gotten exposed in the playoffs even if Carson remained healthy.
