People only see the sack numbers but pressures matter too. I have to wonder if he is getting pressures because they are focusing on Burns and Brown? Maybe Fox will finally start racking up sacks as the season goes on.


This. They have to put their double teams and best blockers on Brown, Burns, reddick.

Getting to watch the game now (missed it yesterday, was out most of the weekend) and the first play of the game for the defense is Morgan Fox bull rushing Armstead backwards before thumping Jameis in the chest.

They threw a flag on the play tho. Whack. But he did make helmet-to-helmet contact.

It is amazing how good players look when the scheme is solid and guys get freed up for 1 on 1 action. Instead of double teaming 3 rushers like lastvyear they now have to.protect one on one and can't easily predict who they have to block.

At the moment, we really are a "pick your poison" defense.  8 players showing up on the sack list after 2 games.  One of the beat writers (forget which) termed it the "bring the house" defense.  It's really true.

Burns / Reddick

Brown / DaQuan

Shaq, Fox, YGM, Haynes, Nixon, Roy

And depth guys  like Luvu...

So many players an offense has to account for.  Pressure can come from any direction.

Here are the defensive stats through 2 weeks from NFL GSIS.

Played much better than game one, this game he was a real difference maker out there not matter DT or DE or Pass or Run. Iants had issues blocking him all game, can not double brown, burns, and reddick....someone has to win the one-on-ones.

Lastly god dam is Peat isnt the weakest looking strong person in the whole world, had like 100 LBs on Fox and got beat-down regularly.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
