Offense
2019
26th in total yards (19th in passing yards, 25th in rushing yards)
30th in scoring

2020
27th in total yards (20th in passing yards, 30th in rushing yards)
25th in scoring

Defense
2019
29th in yards allowed (21st in passing, 32nd in rushing)
25th in scoring

2020
24th in yards allowed (6th in passing, 31st in rushing)
24th in scoring


Looks like, so far, the defense got better ever so slightly and the offense got worse except in scoring.

I checked PFF grades for LBs since I realized I hadn't looked yet this year.
Good news - Wilson and Pratt have good coverage grades.
Bad news - All LBs other than Bynes have bad run defense grades. Wilson and Pratt have grades in the 30's for run defense.

For DL, Hubbard and Reader have good run defense grades, but Dunlap and Daniels do not.

In regards to offense, the only OL with a solid run blocking grade is Bobby Hart.
Williams and Hopkins have good pass blocking grades.
The guards have been the worst starters on the OL both in pass blocking and run blocking.
