That does not mean a full fledge endorsement  but we did not regress under Lou,  2018 before Lou we were 30th then  25 in 2019  to 22 this year in one def ranking  site..

By what possible metric? Bynes had a terrible PFF grade (52.6) and they’ve usually been pretty high on him in recent years. He didn’t have a career high in a single category other than total tackles. Not passes defended, not tackles for a loss, not INT’s, not sacks, not forced fumbles, not QB hits. He basically just racked up more tackles from starting all 16 games (something he’s never done before).

The second bold is also mostly false. That ranking was almost entirely because of Burrow and Tee. Logan Wilson started all of 2 games (and PFF was even somewhat critical of him in their breakdown of our picks). ADG also only started 2 games all season.
