Humble_Beast Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I was hoping Deablo was a stud. He misses so many tackles, weak when blocked, and sucks at coverage. He's not a starter on a good defense. Spillane sucks too, he is more of a backup. We need to revamp this LB unit. Our DTs suck too. Epps is an overpaid average SS. Moehrig is actually looking ok. I really hope Wilson comes around as a force. He flashed a little last week, which is so encouraging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't generate turnovers but the offense has put them in bad spots the last 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to see Turnovers improve and sacks and pressure improve. If we do those things we’ll be vastly improved overall. I think 3rd down percentage this year has been pretty decent hasn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill take it atm and 100% am happy with their improvement, they are carrying our team. Such a joke. Still need to add some real talent to the D, but they are playing about as good as you can hope with the talent level. I just fear, that if our O was scoring more, other teams would be able to move the ball being more aggresive as well. Playing Broncos, Steelers 50% of the games so far, no doubt helps these stats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams playing a lot of cover 2 to protect getting beat deep after a run where these QBs were torching them in cover 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We let our best IDL walk and then added a bunch of bargain basement players. Young hasn’t really shown any flashes either really which is disappointing. Koonce had a few flashes now he’s playing more snaps though……..  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and get the youngsters snaps and experience and invest again in the draft. I’d only be looking to trade for a guy that’s going to be here a good few years, Maxx is a great mentor anyway and our aim is surely to have Wilson starting next year so to trade for a guy who should, if things go well only be a rotation guy next year is questionable to me. Set your stall out, build through the draft and with value free agents and accept it’ll take a bit longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but he looked lead footed and not very explosive or agile in pre season where he had plenty of game time aswell, though he did look strong.
