I really liked Tonga
but he played 40% of the defensive snaps, and Durden played 38% of the defensive snaps.
I felt Durden was getting the nod more so than Tonga later in the season, aside from goal line/short yardage situations.
Can the remaining group replace those snaps? I think they can, am I am higher than most apparently on Farmer's potential. O also like Gregory and Williams, and I am not sleeping on Blay or Pharms. the team still has really nice depth here.
I think many here are over rating Ponder. He was a nice story last season, but a 1 dimensional player (so far). will he make the necessary adjustments and improvements?
I get that many believe that D Jones is more well rounded than Chaisson. But Chaisson was very, very good at getting to the QB, and Jones is not that. Hopefully Jacas can get on the field and contribute quickly. I thought Landry was playing very, very well before he got injured. I assume he can get back to that level.
The LB group is a concern. as everyone has said, the group is thin behind Elliss and Spillane.
