You can keep claiming they cheaped out on the defense all you want, but it’s just simply not true. They sunk a ton of money into the DL, and paid both LBers. The fact is outside of Trey they haven’t come close to getting their moneys worth out of those 2 position groups this season. They were atrocious against the run, and Trey has 12 more sacks than the next closest guy.
