On offense we built from the trenches out but on defense we have not done a good job. Part of my problem is that we have over-payed for a lot of the FAs. Littleton has been pretty damn bad this year. And the best ability is availability and who knows when Kwit will be back on the field for us. We've invested into the DL under Mayock by drafting Ferrell #4, signing Collins to a $6M/yr deal, and Nassibg to a $7.5M/yr deal but all three of those guys have been meh.

We're just taking snaps away from Moreau who is clearly a better player at this stage, he has had two really nice grabs and a TD the last two weeks.

roi34 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 littleton signing was one I don't think anyone argued with. to say it's a bad signing now is crazy to me. most talented guy we've had in years. LB signings were both needed. the D-line has regressed this year under Rod maranelli so far IMO. Lbs can't make many plays when D-line looks like trash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hopeful that guys like Ferrell, Crosby, Key, and Hurst would take the next step while Collins/Nassib would be upgraded depth but they've been booty this year as a unit.

Hurst and Crosby have Been most consistent and best DL imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a lot of 1st and 2nd year players and FAs who’s it’s first year in the system. There was a funky offseason in which it hindered our situation even more. I believe we will get better on that side of the ball as the season progresses. Can’t be much worse lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t be much worse lol But every other team had to deal with a funky offseason as well. Plus we've played the Panthers with a rookie head coach and new QB, the Saints without Thomas and a declining Brees, and the Patriots with a new QB and limited weapons on offense. And we're still allowing over 400 yards and 30 ppg to start the season. You can make a case that the teams we play over the next 4 weeks have more dynamic offenses than the teams we've played in the first 3. The Bills look amazing with Allen throwing to Diggs/Beasley/Brown, the Chiefs have Mahomes plus CEH/Hill/Kelcee/Watkins, the Buccaneers have Brady plus Fournette/Evans/Godwin/Gronk/Howard, and the Browns have Mayfield plus Hunt/Chubb/OBJ/Landry.

How many teams had 5 new starters on one side of the ball? We also have 5 first or second year starters on defense. We’re going to have growing pains. I’ll withhold judgment till mid-season. The first half was probably the best ball they played all year, they just have to put it all together. And once the offense is intact and can sustain some drives we will be more successful on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're allowing 400 yards and 30 points per game so far this season despite investing $130M into defensive free agents and 4 1st/2nd round picks into defensive players over the last two off-seasons. How many teams have invested as much draft capital and as much money in free agency as we have on the defensive side of the ball the last two off-seasons?

The best units are the ones that have had consistency and cohesiveness. Name one unit offense or defense that has had as much turnover as our defense that is having success? We have like 3 guys on defense that have been here longer than 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
