How are we worse at lb and safety?
The kid from Grenada is going to be an excellent cover CB. He needs to RS. He is going to get wrecked when he has to tackle an SEC RB that weighs 200 pounds. He weighed 160 in the Fall- he may be 170 now- but he aint ready for SEC tackling. He's a 7 on 7 Specialist right now. We were good at CB last year with Dantzler and Smitherman- we dropped off considerably after Smitherman got hurt.
Murphy can play. He will be pretty good.
Thompson can play the run damn well- struggles in pass coverage. He is not in the NFL because he was projected a late round pick last April. Gay played 4 games and look where he got picked? Losing experience in Washington and Leo hurts this group also
Our DL has no pass rushers and we dont have "that guy" who can be that Nose who makes offenses worried about. We do have a chance to be decent against the run.
We lost 8 of our top 12 tacklers from 2019. In almost every world a defense takes a step back the next year when that happens unless they have an ultra-talented group of young guys. We dont have that.
Add lack of depth to that and the possibility of 50 passes per game on offense vs 35 to extend games.
We will struggle alot on D in 2020- especially when we get a few injuries- which always happens
