I think we have a pretty strong DL.
Problem is our DL is built to shine when they can pin their ears back and go after the QB.
What?
Why are fans so bad at evaluating the DL? Especially you, Catch. You tend to have a pretty good view on things. We agree a lot. How do you not see it?
On a scale of 1-10, here's our DL starters
DLaw: 6.5
Gregory: 5
Galley: 6.5
Osa: 6
Bohana: 4
Not sure who was starting by end of season, but these guys played a lot and started some.
Where are the game changers on D? What do you mean by pretty strong? We don't dominate decent OL's, why do you think it's OK? I mean, this is some Jerry way of thinking.
Now let's look at 9ers:
Armstead: 9
Bosa: 9
Ebukam: 6.5
DJ Jones: 7
Jordan Willis: 5.5
Subjective, of course. However, what becomes blatantly clear is that their backups and 2nd tier players are the same level as our starters.
