It's incredible what the DL is doing. I expected the linebackers to ball out, and the secondary looks as amazing as we hoped it would.
But the DL really, really looked problematic to me to start the season. I worried they'd struggle to apply consistent pressure and that you could roll them over in the run game.
And yet, we've applied constant pressure, lodged 7 sacks in the two Jones games, and nobody's run effectively on us.
Veach, Spags, and Cullen all deserve heaping amounts of credit for what they're doing at that position. I seriously cannot believe how good they are at the start of the season.

Agree.
Also, re: the Dolphins, I still question Tagavailoa's arm strength. I didn't watch all of the game yesterday (yet, but I will, to relish the beatdown), but everything I've seen him do so far this year is a short throw or an intermediate/deeper throw between the hashes.
I think Spagnuolo will have some ideas ready for how to deal with that, and play some games to compact that part of the field. I think we'll see a decent amount of doubling on Hill and Waddle and daring the Dolphins to win consistently with Cracraft and secondary weapons.
