I believe Vrabel probably makes another move between now and camp to add another DT/NT to round out depth for camp..unless of course someone already on the roster proves worthy.. I also would like to see Britt have an impact at LB he could allow Spillane rest..
Keep your on Dial.. guy was having a great camp prior to the ACL last year.. I think we have something in him..
I have never said that Offense won't be better. Vrabel has done and will do all he can to improve the Offense, including starters and backups.
to believe that Farmer and Bray are better than Tonga is simply a hope and a prayer.
The flawed roster on Defense may or may not be as good as last year. I separate the main contributors from backups. There isn't one backup that I would want to see playing significant reps (except for Jacas if Landry is healthy). This was the flaw last year. It is still the flaw this year. If the starters stay healthy, they are a bit better than in 2025, given that we added Byard and have no NT.
I didn’t speak to record or how far in playoffs they go; I purely meant season D stats will l8kely be worse. Whether that translates into the same-better-worse team W-L record is too many unknowns for me to hazard a guess. Closest I can say is somewhere in the 11-14 win range is where I think they land, so I’m not saying that worse D stats means a horrible season.
Understand. I really have a hard to seeing the defensive statistics worse. Here me out. You addressed weaknesses.. the pass rush left the LBs exposed to many times last year.. while Spillane and Ellis are great at thier jobs they are downhill thumpers.. when you ask them to have to cover missed assignments because the rush can't be affective then it exposed weaknesses.. that was the issue and it reared it's ugly head to many times in the superbowl.. also statistics go by what you allow a team to do.. every defense concedes things but limits opponents. We need to be much better in the red zone.
Has Chaisson's production been replaced?
A healthy Landry is far superior to Chaisson.
Same as last year, Elliss, only now they have a young prospect backup him up in Obiazor.
D. Jones was chassion replacement.. he can play all 3 downs inside and outside and can set the edge better.. also his starting partner Jascas has a similar play style Jascas body type is that of Jadaveon Clowney.. Obiazor was drafted to be the coverage type of LB he's an upgrade over Marty Marpu who had every opportunity to be a coverage LB..
I'm hopeful Landry can return to health..he would be a huge rotational asset and to help along Jascas.. Jascas and D. Jones are your starters if a game were played today... if Landry shows he's healthy and has the same burst and hasn't lost a step then I'll change my mind..
I think Landry will be fine, even if he needs time to get there. It’s not like he suffered a non contact injury, we all saw his knee get folded.
Hopefully my friend.. he's still a good player and is a great culture leader and was firing off the ball earlier last season..
He was decent, but he was one dimensional. On obvious running downs they subbed Jennings in there. You don’t want to telegraph to the opposition what you’re doing. I’ll take this years OLB group over last years all day. They just need to stay healthy and develop the youth.
Absolutely Wozzy.. what I like about Jones is he isn't a one trick pony.. he plays all 3 downs..inside and out sets the edges as well.. chassion was a one trick pony for example..in the mold of Mark Anderson.. remember him?
