I mean that's a little unfair. He was 10th, 15th, 10th and 9th in points allowed. So more top ten then you make it sound. And those defenses weren't as talented as the ones Quinn had. They also did something Quinn couldn't. They stopped the run.
I’d venture to say their DL and LBs were probably better than what we will have across the board in 2025.
Does anyone really believe Jerry and the Tardo Twins are going out and getting a couple A list DT’s to plug in? Dynamic DE’s? LBs?
Nah….you’ll get an over the hill Lawrence, an off injury Williams, a slightly improved Mazi and while you’re at it you’ll get an exploded knees Overshown at LB to go with it. After the Mazi debacle you can’t depend on the draft to make a huge difference.
That’s the problem. Jerry thinks you can throw shit out on the field and “coach’em up” without regard for injuries or talent. And it shows.
Hey maybe Eberflus will surprise me and knock it out of the park. I’m not holding my breath though after watching the last few days of the Jones shitshow.
