Like I said we are a few injuries away from being a really bad defense, like thinking 2019 bad without the sacks

Im as down on the team as the next guy right now, but who isnt a injury or two from changing their complete outcome for the season?

I know the difference in ours could be 5 wins to 2 wins, but it could be much more devastating for a contending team to have a serious injury to their star players. 

If we have pass rushers go down we will just have to be a blitz heavy team, we are probably going to suck this season anyway so not like it really matters.

Our lack of depth is what I am referring to.  Any team can get hit with the injury bug but defense isnt talented as it is and we have an older pass rush and older linebackers with absolutely no depth whatsoever at those spots.  And thats not even addressing what happens if horn goes down again.  Whose the #1 corner if that happens?

Tell that to the guys who know for sure we are going to have a good d this season. 

Our D wasnt good last season either. 

If Horn goes down with our lack of pass rush we are probably screwed. No one wants to see Dane or Bootie as a #1 CB

We were last in the league in sacks last season by a pretty decent margin.

    • Here's the thing. You compared him to Jake. Jake was signed to the practice squad out of college. Bryce was the number 1 overall. Their expectations are wildly different and so are their contracts. You can talk all you want about what a player is and where they are now and all this other mumbo jumbo, but Jake never had a 5th year option and we weren't talking about the possibility of a top 5 QB contract extension at the end of his 3rd year. What he was expected to be matters because we invested heavily at a cost of future capital, including a 2nd round pick this year, for him to be that guy. The cost to add Bryce took value from the team. To be worth it, he has to add that value back.  Actually, I don't prefer yards, TDs, or only INTs. All those stats by themselves are misleading which is why I said you have to use a lot of different stats. ADOT - Average depth of target.  Completion %. Pretty obvious until you factor in ADOT. 0-5 has a lot higher C% than 10-15%. Hang time. If a pass is in the air for 4.6 seconds vs 3.1 on a 40 yards throw, that gives a DB a lot of time to correct. Is it a loft or is it a laser.  EPA - Expected points added. A way of measuring QB efficiency on every play.  CPOE - ranking pass completions based on several factors, not just the throw.  There's obviously more, but those are the more common.  Typical stats don't show everything. You need to look all over. Looking at a stat line is lazy. That's why I said, you need to analyze everything. Once you start looking at the numbers you start looking at the player. That's why you follow numbers. They lead you places. You look at what happening when the numbers show you patterns. That's where you start finding the problems that yards, TDs and Ints won't show you.     
    • It's not relevant who wins or loses. It's about actually attempting to get better at the position.
    • Thank you. I don't understand how the Bryce stans don't see this. I've never seen a player get more hyped for doing so little. Honestly it's driving me a little insane.
