Weak overall? No. Most years, we'd be looking at this starting duo with optimism.
I think ppl say we are worse on D not because of the players we lost but the players we lost AND their roles in Lou’s defense.
On paper losing 2 safeties but getting back good players doesn’t look bad but we’ve gotta factor in that Lou’s defense calls for its safeties to do a hell of a lot. So losing 2 safeties in Lou’s system is scary.
So officially i’m in the “The defense got worse” camp but i could EASILY see Dax and Scott and Battle being great.
Ima be the 1st to say it because i don’t think Iv seen anyone say it…..i think we just replicated the Seahawks and drafted 2 amazing defensive backs in the same draft. I really like Turner and Battle and i truly believe if either got to start 17 games, they’d be pro bowlers.
