Who are the top 5 players that are key to our defense improving
Who are the top 5 players that are key to our defense improving
Really the whole defense has room for improvement1: Randy Gregory: Alot can fall into place if he can be a double digit sack DE
2: Micah Parsons: Him living up to his potential would go along way to improving our run defense. He could potentially be a boost to the pass rush as well. Him being a plus in coverage is probably a ways off. However his current skill set could go a long ways to improving our defense
3A: Donavan Wilson. Provides a diverse skill set at SS. His TO production was very good last year. If he just maintains that pace, its a boon to critial turnover category
3B: Trevon Diggs. Like Wilson, Diggs showed a penchant for getting his hands on the ball with 3 INTs and 14 PD's. Those two keeping that up and even improving on it will go a long way in the W/L column
5: Neville Gallimore. We didnt do a whole lot at DT in the offseason, however Gallimore's play in the 2nd half 2020 was encouraging. We need improved play on the inside, and Gallimore is most likely to provide it
1. Defensive Line
2. Linebackers
3. Secondary
4. Defensive Coordinator
5. Head Coach
Yep. I'd probably replace Urban or Bohama with Lawrence but I agree with this. You get it. The linebackers are the key and the DT's....are biggest weaknesses the past few years.1. Gallimore
2. LVE
3. Jaylon Smith
4. Urban
5. Bohama
It's all about run defense, especially the defensive tackles. Switch Jaylon with the Buc's MLB and tell me which linebacker would have been more successful, Smith standing behind Suh and Nunez-Roches or Devin White behind Woods and Poe?
Fix the run defense and everything else on defense will follow. Second and short killed this defense last season. Offensive linemen running around in the second tier of the defense killed the linebackers.
