They were a good defense last year, but they weren't as good last year with Poe as they were with the DTs they used in 2016.  Their defense took a step backwards last year.

No. Atlanta improved from 25 to 9 in yards and 27 to 8 in points between 2016 and 2017

This doesn’t make any sense their defense was far better last year than the year before.

That was the problem with you and others ever thinking Butler was drafted to replace Star. They are NOT the same type of players. Just cause they are both considered defensive tackles means nothing. 

Butler is NOT a nose tackle. 

Educate yourself, or STFU.

so what was he drafted to do? Sit on the bench?

Yes, I went to Pro Football Reference and clicked the arrow in the wrong direction for the yards and points columns.

My bad.  Not paying close enough attention.

Some people got pleasure out of my mistake though, so I made their night which is nice lol.

P.S. We still overpaid for an average NT that has had difficulty staying in shape and not stressing the discs in his back for his career.  Hopefully he won't consider this overpaid contract as time for him to relax and eat up.  Like he did with KC.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.

    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
