The final missing piece on Defense for 2025+

[ScotsCowboy]

Why would Detroit move on from Reader when they consider themselves Super Bowl contenders and they see the best team in the NFL uses the tush push non stop. With the injuries they suffered last season on defense, it would not be a good move to move on from the defensive tackle. They literally lost 9 of their top defensive players for at least more than 4 games last year. Several for the season and the playoffs.

They drafted Tyleik Williams and signed Roy Lopez in FA. They are stacked at DT.

 

[Proof]

You forget Overshown, me favorite. Paired with Micah, the LB position seems good to go.

we have no clue when he'll be back, or how good he'll be when he does come back. and he won't be paired with micah.

Neither is better then Reader.

A big DT can take a lot of pressure off the LB's

See exhibit A - Ray Lewis flying around making tackles for the Ravens.

Neither is better then Reader.

Frankly, I don't think either is as good as Reader.

They drafted a 1 tech in the 1st round.
