He and Ford combined for like 50 snaps in the preseason. Definitely didn't help the pass rush look as good, one would think.

I’m pretty pumped for Nnadi. I think he’s gonna be special and will be a big contributor by seasons end.

I don't think those 2-3 players make them mediocre, or good, or bad necessarily. I think that those players though could be better than what we have at say CB3 or safety, and so if you can acquire upgrades, why not?

It is my personal belief that the defense will look better week one because they will actually 'show their cards', so to speak. Press coverage, blitzes, etc. All starters playing, ideally, for a full game.

If those things don't happen, well... it'll be a shit show. All season.

seems we always panic in P/S - this year more so - but for what seems to be good reasons.

Pitt has our number and Mahomes won't get any time to pass regardless of Shazier's absence. Pitt's D-line owns our o-line period.

Definition of insanity. Expecting different results when nothing has changed and has actually gotten worse. You are correct.

That is our base defense. We will spend most of our time in Nickel which will be more like.
Secondary

Nelson (CB)
Fuller (CB)
Amerson (CB)
Berry (S)
Murray (S)

Front seven

Hitchens (ILB)
Houston (OLB)
Ford/Kpass (OLB)
Bailey (DE)
Jones (DE)
Williams (DT)

Now how do you feel about the starting defense?

Meaningful snaps doesn’t equal difference maker

We have that now if you think about it.

Amerson is the fourth cb according to reports from practice today, feel better? :D

Imagine replacing Amerson with Peters. Oh wait, we had that

No Scandrick is no better in reality.

The reason to point that out isn't to complain. It's to keep a conversation about the defense in 1 thread instead of breaking it apart. It waters down the conversation. Now a great point about the defense needs to be repeated 3 times in each thread.

There is nothing wrong with your point. Whether I agree or not you at least backed it up with something. But your need to have the thought be seen by everyone is breaking up the conversion that was already happening in another thread.

One problem with this particular on paper argument is that it only shows 2 corners. In today's NFL we all know you better be looking at 3 corners minimum to judge your secondary with how often they will be out there. Really need to look at 4.

ROFL at freaking out over preseason. It's stupid.
