Even apart from Sauce, they have the Williams brothers and a group of pass rushers. We have 1 good pass rusher and that's it. Im saying its not that much different. Report

October 10, 20241 yr comment_1767965 Corner is not the issue on this team. Our starters might not be at the level Sauce and Reed but they are fine....any of the top 3. CTB just had a bad game. Our safeties are comparable to the Jets. Our LBs are better than the Jets Quinnen Williams is averaging 1.6 tackles a game. Our ends are better than the Jets. No chance they wouldn't swap theirs for Myles-Sam and Trey. Absolutely none. You know Reddick is holding out right? Report

October 11, 20241 yr comment_1767987 Still question how they're rated athletically, as a group average. They've had a good run of DB's but I'm not feeling it this year. They've recycled Bell again & he hasn't gotten any better. I thought he was supposed to communicate more than Jordan Battle? All that yapping isn't making up for the difference in natural ability. It's not just the DB's either. Too many slow players that can't or won't tackle. DL injuries don't explain why they're playing so soft. That aside, my biggest concern? Neither the HC or DC have given me the impression they're taking ownership for their record. Report

Maybe BJ Hill, but really Hill is only playing to the top of his skill level, which is slightly above average. Hopefully some of the young players can start to step up, because I worry thats the only way the defense is going to get better. If the young guys can start playing better. Report

The young DL are going to get a lot of snaps so at least we will find out if they will make the grade or not. Report
