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.
