I think we are fine at safety once we cut Nick Scott... Maybe a safety that specializes in coverage would help. I think inside linebacker and a couple more down lineman (if we are still 3-4/nickel) are more important

Crazy thing is he can fit crazy accurate throws on this pass routes. Then next play he will miss the LB/safety that drops into the deep middle zone...

We can start jameis and have Bryce develop his clipboard holding skills

Bryce fumbling that ball against Miami is like my girlfriend seeing a scare actor for Halloween. Just screams and throws everything in her hands at the scare actor

Agreed. I do think our free agent acquisitions + our safeties being better against the run have helped also. If we can figure out our pass coverage issues in the middle third of the field, I would actually like our overall defense (at least like it enough).

I'm going by the eyeball test. Outside of the Jacksonville game (which wouldn't have been the worst if Etienne didn't have that 70-yard run), we have done a good job of limiting first down runs to three yards or less a lot this season. The falcons game rushing stats look worse than it truly was - I think the falcons got about 60 rushing yards in garbage time when they were down 30. Otherwise, it has mostly been something around 25 carries for the other team for ~100 yards. Last season, it felt like every first down run was going for at least 6 yards.

Well, we have definitely improved from allowing like 300 rushing yards a game to a much lower amount

He doesn't get a lot of sacks because the dude is double teamed every play

That one play where he literally just shoved the LG for the Dolphins completely out of the blocking lane then sacked Tua was pretty filthy. Guy is insanely strong and insanely smart with his hand placement to shed blocks. He is definitely a big reason why our run defense looks better

Don't forget at the cameraman's head and his o-lineman's head

At some point, I have to question if these things are staged or if the people are very stupid. I sure as hell would not be streaming myself watching my favorite team play - especially if it's a Charlotte-based team.... The people around me can enjoy me cussing the team out nonstop - I don't need to let possibly millions of people watch me do it on the Internet

This. I watched Mahomes win a superbowl 3 years with literal JAGs at WR + a good, but old Kelce. Like the receivers were so bad that Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore were their #1 and #2 receivers. That didn't stop the Chiefs from scoring 38 on the Eagles

Honestly - is this cranky person Bryce's huddle account?

So... you are saying it isn't Bryce's fault and haven't invested enough on offense because we don't have the best/highest paid WR, RB, and TE in the NFL? We haven't spent money on WR/TE because we literally have drafted a WR in the 1st round in back-to-back years... Tet is clearly a stud being held back by Bryce - he probably has an extra 200-300 yards and a few touchdowns more with a competent QB and play caller. We literally spent a crap ton of money signing the best possible guards in free agency 2 years ago (because Bryce was god awful against inside pass rush his rookie year) while also extending Moton and having Icky on a rookie deal. Meanwhile, we have a bunch of no-namers (outside of Horn, DB, and maybe Moehrig) on defense because they put all of their money towards the offense. It isn't realistic to have every single position group on offense be the highest paid or elite. Look at the Bengals - they didn't invest in their oline and got Burrow killed because of it. Now, despite having the highest paid WR group, they are losing by like 30+ and struggling to score. This might be one of the biggest Bryce nuthugger threads I have seen since his rookie year.
