Atkins played at elite level in the 1st 8 games then his production dropped off.
Dunlap was invisable in the 2nd half of last year.
Hubbard came on strong in the last q. of the season.
Jessie Bates actually was consistant for most of the year.
Shawn Williams IMO was the best player on defense all year
WJ was playing at a all pro level toward the end.
this defense needs guys at all 3 levels of the defense to play a great to elite level
in order for the defense to improve and take that jump.
Dunlap has to somehow put up 10 plus sacks and actually finish the QB off
Lawson needs to become a force on 3rd down.
Nick Vigil has to start making more plays before the 1st down sticks
hes has shown zero ability to make dynamic plays.
Pratt hopefully can be that gamechanger so sorely missed.
but these young guys need to start making meanigful plays and not being pile jumpers
a offense that can create leads will be a huge help.
and better coaching and scheme for sure
Believe the same.

You win football games at the Line of Scrimmage.
The truth.

Landon Collins was a stud for him with the Giants.

Yes he was and led our team in interceptions if i am not mistaken and that is with the ballhawk Bates next to him.
