Ya, but del Rio also had Rucker,Buckner,Jenkins,Peppers, Dan Morgan, Witherspoon and Minter.

Trgovac had the same group and was only able the be a shadow of the 2002 defense, when it should have gotten better every year after the year with Del Rio as the players played together more

You left out Mark Fields, probably the best of the linebackers at least from a pass rushing perspective.

But, if you look at Jacksonville's numbers when Del Rio got there, they were bottom half of the league in pass rushing. It took a couple of years, but by 2005 they were one of the best teams in the NFL at pressuring the qb. There is definitely some evidence that Del Rio will make them a more aggressive defense in the passing game.

Denver's D-line is just as good, if not better than ours was back then. That D is already nasty as Hell. It is a shame that they are losing their coordinator. Not certain that Del Rio can squeeze much more out of them.

The Denver Broncos d-line is not as good Peppers/Jenkins/Buckner/Rucker

A clue into what our defense will become in time with Rivera.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
