That’s just not so
It is so


Fowler is on his 4th team now and has 1 double digit sack season in his career

Gallimore, Bohanna, Hill, Osa are all Jags. Did you not see Fournette have his way with this front last week??

Demarcus Lawerence is a bum. Barely even noticeable out there. A glorified $20m a year run-stuffer.


Like I said, its Micah and Jags. He is making them look better than they are. If Micah misses time, I guarantee you the pass rush goes back to being abysmal

All i will say is do you have confidence in this group to rush the passer if Micah has to miss time or play LB exclusively??
Well, Micah didn't make every play or get every sack, so while it's obvious he's the best player on the team, the others aren't all chopped liver.

That's most teams though. Mac Jones was looking comfortable today too lol. Take away Donald rams would get smashed by alot of teams.

Because Micah is drawing attention from the OL

LVEs sack was a direct result of the pressure Micah caused that made Burrow leave the pocket

It absolutely was thanks to Micah. But they made plays when he wasn't on the field too, believe it or not. I'd be extremely upset if Micah couldn't play, for whatever reason, but that doesn't mean nobody else can play.

No. I do not. Thank God they are letting Parsons rush the passer 90% of the time. I think he is helping the other pass rushers by drawing so much attention.
Armstrong got two sacks today. However I will contend he is a terrible pass rusher.
I’m actually glad Basham got hurt because I think Fowler is better.
I think Osa and Gallimore are decent.
Sam Williams needs more snaps. I see something special in that guy and we need another pass rusher.

We have one bonafide superstar on the defensive line. No, ifs buts or maybes about it. But I'd argue there are other good players too. Enough to support what Micah is doing and play a part in a good defense overall. If we didn't have Micah I still think we'd be a slightly above average defense, but Micah elevates us a lot.

Collins might be a nice guy, but I am glad he is not a Cowboy. He has proven the cowboys right by letting him go.

Best defensive front???


Its micah and a buncha Jags tbh

I’d say Collins’ opinion is more qualified than yours. Lawrence is above average, Odiggy has potential, and Quinn is coaxing some good snaps out of guys like Fowler and Armstrong. They’re not a Murderer’s Row of Pro Bowlers, but they’re top ten as a unit, IMHO.

The same Collins that played here for the last 7 years??


If he said they were an average front, you wouldnt be singing the same tune…
