Played through a painful injury. With the bum shoulder hopefully behind him, I expect he takes the next step and will be a league-wide known name by season’s end.
Yes, he is obvious though and didn't want do jinx my man Logan, so I vote for ADG as a breakout player.
Logan could be the star of the Defense though for sure. Such great instincts and savvy.

BJ Hill could end up being the breakout player too. He did more with many less snaps than Ogunjobi last year as this shows.
I liked what I saw of Carter this preseason too which is the question in how he replaces what BJ Hill did last year.

I really like what I’m seeing with this #1 defense.Hope they pick up where they left off in postseason play.
Same Zeke.
I think we should only get better with another year under Lou while adding more to his personnel to work with.

Back in the day Wallace Gilberry was great as a situational pass rusher. They let Michael Johnson go in FA, and Gilberry really fell off. Maybe this is different, but Ogunjobi was very disruptive, and made splash plays last year (PFF grades be damned).... Who's gonna fill those shoes?
Outside of a coupla weeks run last year, the defense under Lou as been middle of the pack at best.
They were 5th against the run, that is a start and the building block. Need to stop the run first and then get after the
passer. This is key to being a top end Defense. I think we saw it beginning to work in the Playoffs which led to turnovers.

Yes, behind BJ Hill is the question with Carter and if he can fill BJ's shoes...
Ogunjobi was a splash play guy early in games and fell off as the game went on. Must of been conditioning.

Truth.
