We're at least 1 dominant DT, 1 talented LB and 1 opportunistic/instinctive safety away from having a good defense. Not even great.
But if some young guys can start stepping up in the next few games and we're in the division leader mix that will be the biggest factor if we are going to make a playoff run and then a push during the tournament.
Will Trysten Hill get pressure up the middle and will Gallimore start showing he can start? Woods is solid but just that and Poe looks like he is taking a pay check. We are getting absolutely no pass rush up the middle and are not pushing back the pocket in that regard. Our run defense did improve ood playing but it still needs improvement.
On the o-line Biadasz or McGovern coming on would be huge. Shultz looks much improved and can play. Other than the o-line, I'm confident in the offense as a whole.
Surprised Poe didn't get cut in TC. We didn't have a contingency plan at safety really and cut Clinton-Dix. Hill/Woods/Gallimore/Crawford is probably enough depth it's better than putting guys out there who flat out can't play lol.
