I’ve heard people on podcast and talk shows talk about how bad our defensive line was last year. Heck even people in this forum think we need a whole lot more defensive line help.
I think the defensive line held up and gave the linebackers a chance to make plays, sure they could always do better, I think they got like three or four sacks last year, but I think the bigger problem was linebacker play.
Every time I go back and watch a game from last year I see opportunities for the linebackers but a lot of missed tackles, wrong reads and being slow to recover doomed the defense. If it wasn’t for The Hunter in the backfield, we would not have been 7-6.
