32nd(last) ranked defense

How is it sunshine pumping to acknowledge the defensive roster is mostly ass cheeks and bandaids?

Becasue they are dead last. You don’t get a pass for being dead last in the league. I think they would still suck with their starters. I would rather see the younger players that have heart vs guys like Shaq that are stretching out those play days.

You'll get no argument out of me. I'm ready for a full on youth movement on that side of the ball.

This offseason they let 4 starters and multiple key rotational players walk. Threw all their resources into offense in an attempt to salvage Bryce's career.

Take that paper thin bottom tier talent and add a bunch of injuries, the D is being held together by duct tape and super glue at this point. Any team not lead by some Gardner Minshew level QB is going to shred these guys.

If you've been watching good DCs for a while, you know bad personnel and good DC gets a team ranked between 17 to 22. Bad DCs finish in the bottom 10 regardless of personnel. Good DC with good personnel is top 12.

Good personnel never carries a defense without a good DC. The MOST IMPORTANT person on the defense is the DC.

Stop making excuses for Evero. This defensive scheme is easy to read/call for college coaches.

What DC had comparable talent to this present day roster whose team was ranked between 17-22…..the past couple seasons? 

To an extent I agree with your general gist but this roster is uniquely bad

Our cornerstone is on IR for the year. The defense needs an injection of talent and youth next off season but we have to live with this poo this season. Especially with all the injuries we've had

Well they did waive the only OLB with a sack other than clowney and now can’t rush the passer. So that’s annoying. Wonnum better be good or he can kick rocks too

It’s not going to improve much as our entire front 7 is injured or old.  The team is, however, functioning.  Let’s relish that for a bit before we bemoan a tattered defensive unit.

Yeah I don’t understand the lack of perspective. I think this team is worse than the 01 or 10 teams in terms of talent and it’s going to take a while to catch up from all the bad decisions.

    • They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.
    • And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
