Nobody is saying they’re great players. They’re certainly not the problem though.
The problem is we only have 3 core guys and they’ve been inconsistent at best.
One is a liability against the run and now he’s hurt.
Another went from a guy that’s been consistently one of the best edge rushers in the NFL to what we’ve seen these last 5 weeks whether it be due to injury, playing on a new defense in a new scheme, or a combination of the two.
The third hasn’t quite played like a core guy up until this past week. Unfortunately for him, the two huge plays he made didn’t result in a win.
When you have all that and nobody that fits that bill at CB and LB, you get what you’ve had these first 5 weeks.
That doesn’t change the fact that those other guys have been good moves by Veach that are being ignored. You can’t have great players at every spot.
