How is it sunshine pumping to acknowledge the defensive roster is mostly ass cheeks and bandaids?

Becasue they are dead last. You don’t get a pass for being dead last in the league. I think they would still suck with their starters. I would rather see the younger players that have heart vs guys like Shaq that are stretching out those play days.

This offseason they let 4 starters and multiple key rotational players walk. Threw all their resources into offense in an attempt to salvage Bryce's career.

Take that paper thin bottom tier talent and add a bunch of injuries, the D is being held together by duct tape and super glue at this point. Any team not lead by some Gardner Minshew level QB is going to shred these guys.

If you've been watching good DCs for a while, you know bad personnel and good DC gets a team ranked between 17 to 22. Bad DCs finish in the bottom 10 regardless of personnel. Good DC with good personnel is top 12.

Good personnel never carries a defense without a good DC. The MOST IMPORTANT person on the defense is the DC.

Stop making excuses for Evero. This defensive scheme is easy to read/call for college coaches.

What DC had comparable talent to this present day roster whose team was ranked between 17-22…..the past couple seasons? 

To an extent I agree with your general gist but this roster is uniquely bad

...I mean...our cornerstone is a 30yr old shaq thompson...whos name is never uttered over the loud speaker...

Our cornerstone is on IR for the year. The defense needs an injection of talent and youth next off season but we have to live with this poo this season. Especially with all the injuries we've had

It’s not going to improve much as our entire front 7 is injured or old.  The team is, however, functioning.  Let’s relish that for a bit before we bemoan a tattered defensive unit.

Yeah I don’t understand the lack of perspective. I think this team is worse than the 01 or 10 teams in terms of talent and it’s going to take a while to catch up from all the bad decisions.

    • Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....
    • I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end. 
    • We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
