Broaddus mentioned his nice effort last night and he certainly was better than any other guys we have playing there. He gets ragged on here a lot, and I saw several people saying he sucked last night, but that wasn't the case. Three tackles, a sack, several pressures and a tackle for a loss is a pretty decent night.

People were saying he sucked on a night the defensive line dominated? Good grief.

What's your opinion. Do we have one of the best Dlines in the league?

It is honestly a good question. Last year we were one of the best in the league at stopping the run. This year our sack numbers are through the roof. We definitely aren't the trainwreck on the DL that MANY people tried to claim we were before the season.

Through the first 3 weeks......yes we are number 2 in sacks i think and just had 10 TFL in 1 game. Now will we continue that all season? Not sure but so far this season we have been one of the better DL with Irving coming back after next game

Plus he re-directed the RB a few times causing TFL's.

He's tough over there because he's so strong that through sheer brute strength he often times defeats single blocking. That's an issue when you also have Collins and Lawrence to deal with. He constantly pushes the pocket.

He had a great game, that's for sure. He's a good player. He's played consistently well with injuries and very little talent around him. And now with D-Law and Maliek playing so well it's giving him better opportunities and vice versa. It's a lot better than playing along side the Jack Crawford and Ryan Davis types of the world.

There are always a few that rarely get recognition. T Will another one. A lot in here rip on him but he's been a gamer for a while now and you certainly can't complain about his contract.

Why is Mayowa getting more snaps than Taco? Has he really shown enough this year to deserve more snaps. I don't think he has. I'm not saying Taco has either but he's shown more than some are willing to give him credit for.

This. See this is where stats are a terrible way to judge a defense. You have to watch the games to really judge. People who only count sacks or/and pics in the stat column don't get it. This (what you pointed out) is never measured (and with good reason) but it's important to contribution and those who don't watch the whole play never see it.

Agreed. I'll also say this; against Denver Crawford spent a lot of time at DT, lined up across Leary. There were six or seven times he was able to beat Leary right off the snap. Leary had some significant issues with Crawford's short area quickness. If it weren't for Siemian getting rid of the ball 2-2.5 seconds almost every pass, Crawford probably ends up with a sack or two. Siemian had to get rid of the ball a couple of times even quicker than he wanted to because Crawford was closing in. Crawford even made a couple of plays against the run.

Mayowa was close to the QB once or twice this last game but in general has been really bad. I'd rather have the rookie playing myself.

Playoff rotation:
RDE - Gregory, Tapper
3DT - Collins, Crawford
1DT - Irving, Paea
LDE - Lawrence, Taco

I like it, although...

DON'T READ THIS @Trouty

I would think the RDE starter is Taco or Mayowa or Tapper. Long way to go in the season and it will be interesting to see who develops over the course of the year.

I actually like Taco at RDE and love @xwalker's comparisons of Taco to that of The Kraken :)

What about Moore, Kaiser?

I think Irving is wasted at the 1T, Joey

Love Gregory on the starting roster. Woot!

We have a lot of players to mix and match in Moore, Mayowa, Tapper, Crawford, and Irving. I like Paea and Price at the 1T
