Our defense is made up of Luke, TD, and 9 carnies

In retrospect, letting most of the secondary go in the offseason is affecting the team WAY more than the receivers. I wouldn't grade a single member of our secondary as even average in coverage skills. 

 

The defensive line has pretty much fallen apart without Hardy. The bloom is completely off the rose of Mario Addison and I saw our DTs constantly out of position and taking wrong angles. And don't forget about AJ Klein: There was a play where Bernard had the ball running near Klein today and he was so slow that Kuechly managed to come from the opposite side of the field to make the play before Klein had a chance to react.

 

It's disturbing and sad, but when we don't make the playoffs or lose once we do, it will almost certainly be the fault of the defense. What a shitshow.

Secondary isn't worse than last year. Lack of pass rush just exposes them. The secondary is equally mediocre.

 

DeCoud is definitely a worse "last line of defense" guy than Mitchell was, though arguably better cover skills.  Maybe a wash, but with the front seven being gashed like they are this weakness is really being exposed.

Keek is elite

Davis is very good

KK is very good

Star is good

CJ is either Great or bad

Horton/Addison are both average

Cason is mediocre in coverage but is a ball hawk who forces turnovers

Klein and Blackburn are both okay

Harper/DeCoud/White are all inconsistent

Godfrey sucks

We need Hardy back but getting Bene/Norman back alone would be a start

TD completely whiffed on the Bernard TD. He looked like a kid in pop warner that only gets to play because his parents sponsor the team.

Davis is very good

KK is  good

Star is AVERAGE

CJ is either DECENT or bad

Horton/Addison are both BELOW AVERAGE

Cason is mediocre in coverage but is a ball hawk who forces turnovers

Klein and Blackburn are both CHEAP PLACEHOLDERS

Harper/DeCoud/White are all OLD/SLOW/PRACTICE SQUAD

Godfrey STILL HASN'T RECOVERED FROM ACHILLES INJURY

We need Hardy back but getting Bene/Norman back alone would be a start

 

Thanks for the template.

    • I have never seen this cat play a single snap of football, BUT, I really hope that we're not counting on a 25 yo, UDFA who played 6 years of college ball to suddenly replace our starting LB.  Sounds to me like Dean Jones needed a story and didn't have anything else to write about. Wishing the guy luck though, cool nickname.
    • I'll go 1 further than that. This 23 year old had spent 4 years as a middle of the pack college player before exploding onto the scene as a 5th year senior, then we have enough faith in him to trade up 1 spot so that we can get a 5th year option and guarantee his salary. So in about a year's time he went from a mid round pick to a first rounder. It would be hard NOT to let that go to your head! I'm going to trust that the staff know what they're doing with XL and not give him too much crap about being a dumbass LAST season, as long as he doesn't continue to be one.
    • From Brugler's scouting report... Tavareon “Bam” Martin-Scott picked up his nickname because of the fireworks celebration he typically receives to celebrate his birthday. He grew up playing pee wee football in Fort Wayne, Ind., but developed late and was mostly a part-time player until his senior year at Snider High (alma mater of Jessie Bates). He posted 87 tackles and 6.0 sacks as a senior in 2018, but it wasn’t enough to put him on the recruiting radar. A no-star recruit, he played two seasons with Dodge City (Kan.) Community College and then received several SEC offers. His playing time and production gradually increased each season for the Gamecocks, and he put intriguing flashes on film. Martin-Scott is a good-sized athlete, with pursuit speed to match races to the perimeter. He competes with a banger mentality to pinball off blocks and stay determined on his path to the ball. Overall, Martin-Scott freelances a tad too much with inconsistent steps in coverage, but he is a classic run-and-hit linebacker who likes to play loose and chase plays — necessary ingredients for NFL special teams. grade: Free Agent
