He had some serious pass rushers up front in the Giant's Super Bowl run. We don't have that on paper here for him, but I feel like our talent was obviously upgraded this offseason so we'll see what he can do with some young and hungry players looking to shake off the mantra of being a shit defense the last few years (and I feel we had talent and vastly underachieved under Sutton and his "we don't adjust to offenses, they adjust to us" crap).
I would love to say I expect a ton more 3-4-5 and outs from this defense, and I hope that happens, but I expect to see us in nickel and dime a ton playing in shootouts, especially if Mahomes takes the next step in his second year and the offense elevates with him.
