This was on the interior DLine. The whole Defense is not devoid of talent!

DBs

Bradberry- Needs to be retained, is underappreciated and locks down some of the better wrs in the game. Everyone gives up plays at times and has delt with a few injuries and still played good.

Jackson- Love this kid playing across from Bradberry, needs to follow the fastest opposing wr thats a threat. He has done nothing but improved outside of the games he played with groin injuries.

Cockrell- Cant do much better for a 3rd db, needs to be retained.

We could use some more depth with the cbs but overall a good group.

Tre Boston- Has gotten better as the season has went on and is fine at FS for the right price. I would like to see a young high draft pick but think we have more pressing needs.

Reid- Hes a SS that is fair in coverage if put in places to succeed. He goes for the big hit too much but there needs to be some discipline and he is good in the box. I like him fine for what we are paying him and along with everyone else in the secondary his play will elevate with the front 7 and vice versa.

Front 7

Luke- HOF, looks like he took a step back only because olineman are all over him most plays, he hasnt taken a step back.

Shaq- Athletic guy that has shown up this year when alot of you were hating on him. His lapses in coverage are usually due to being mismatched.

PassRushLBs- Burns,Irvin,Addison,Haynes,Miller,Obada

All of these guys have been doing their jobs for the most part and man Burns...what could you say bad about the kid. Irvin is a vet who plays hard, i want him back. Addison has done his thing getting sacks and even the younger guys have done their thing. Probably our strongest unit and i dont even see any need for change, the young guys will improve themselves.

Interior Lineman

KK Short- He went down and it hurt us far more then most of you guys want to realize? Im not sure anymore....with Mccoy there these two would have reeked so much more havoc and he would have help tremendous with the run as i think he has always done more in that role then given credit for.

McCoy- I think he is an average run stopper but man he is the best interior rusher weve had in a long time.

Poe- I was really disappointed in him this year when we deployed the 34, he was the guy that was supposed to eat double teams and help keep keek and shaq clean. I think this is where we spend our first round pick on this year as i feel it is our weakest spot if the right guy is there. I also feel like this is where we are lacking the most depth and 90% of our run stopping issues are coming from.

Love and Vern- Bring them back if we can't find upgrades and they are CHEAP. They are average depth pieces but you need depth.

My conclusion on defense is...we have given way too many points up and might have the worst run Defense ive ever seen. We need new coaches here, its time, bye Ron and Washington. We have actually had alot of coverage sacks this year, our secondary isnt the problem. I couldnt imagine if our guys could pinn their ears back because we could actually stop the run and get more 3rd and longs. We went into the year with trying to run the 34 with 1 true NT in Poe and he was average. Stupid. We dont have as many holes to fill as many would like to think and i think it can be done this off-season. We cant waste anymore of our players talents on this bs...we have generational talent in many places and alot of elite talent in others. We cant afford a rebuild and waste these guys nor do i want to see anymore seasons like this one! Cam, Keek, CmC, Burns, Bradberry, Jackson, Addison, Mccoy, Short, Dj, Curtis, and Olsen are what we have to be excited about. Thats alot of talent that alot of teams would love to have all together and is why this team has been so frustrating. There is no reason we shouldnt be dominating besides the coaching, we did have ALOT of injuries this season, more then the normal but still this cant happen. Stay positive guys, we have alot to look foward too!

Dude, your a homer. Both are corners get burnt. Our safties are lost and cant wrap up. We don't get pressure and cant stop the run. FOH. You probably see allen as a franchise qb too

Obviousely you cant read but ok, i didnt see where we gave up air yards today as much as couldn't stop the run, but since you have nothing intelligent to say dont post

No its just like this, when you loose at chess its not the pieces fault, and today i dont think we gave alot of pass yards up so why should i blame the dbs....the game was given away in the trenches

dontari poe didnt play today and we gave up 250 yards to one of the worst offenses in the league. every player you said was average or good was on the field... there were also there with poe the other games where the run defense sucked. doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me!

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
