Media types don’t usually pick unproven teams so this isn’t surprising. It’s also a show and they need to have talking points so they don’t all agree on the same thing the entire show.

I think we did a lot of addition by subtraction defensively. I get that an outsider may not necessarily see it that way, but I do at least. Even in the case of Peters, who as great of a playmaker as he is, seemed to have a negative effect on the intensity of the defense.
Even in the Oakland game that he was suspended last year I thought they played meaner and more aggressively. All the additions this offseason were made with that in mind IMO. Veach wants a tough, physical defense. Something even Peters could never fit into.
