Was the defense better because Whitehead and Jackson didn’t play?

This a thread regarding defensive play. Who we were missing on offence does not affect who our defence faced.

You are correct I apologize but offensive performance does impact the defense being in the field more or less time

Jackson is so hard to understand for me. Is he a positive or negative on the field?

he's either playing hurt, has enough film on him that he's being exposed, had massive expectations after his first season, or some combination of the three. 

Pretty clear our best defense is the group we had out there today

Panthers were missing McCaffrey and starting a backup QB in his first start ever so I think that evens out.

What does that have to do with our defensive match-up with the Lions? 

Those guys play offense

And we did dominate TOP today leaving the D fresh.

Dude...

Jackson has dealt with this toe injury for nearly two months,

What does the toe have to do with him not making a single tackle all year?

[Mr. Scot]

Let's be real. Jackson wasn't playing that great when he was healthy.

He's been inconsistent from day one.

Lol what? Donte Jackson has been good this year.

[Chaos]

Burris was a spark plug today too.

I agree... he is far from perfect but he was picking balls off ever other game it seemed.. and then on the return..good luck catching him. Would rather have him than not. I think the huddle view jackson the same way they do or did samuel before this season. Hate for him is greatly overrated.

I wouldn't be mad if we moved on from both. Neither is better than the Joe behind them. Hurneys drafting skills have been horrible as always and while he normally hits on the first round target he's trash after that.

Wow! No mention of Tre Boston this week! Imagine that. lol
