The first step in fixing the defense is stoping the run. If you can’t stop the run your gonna have issues you can get killed by play action pass , have short easy convertible downs which negates the pass rush and lose the time of possession battle. Love the additions of Reader he seems like a perfect AFC north nose tackle , Bell should be a better tackler than Williams and Wayne’s a better tackler than Kirkpatrick. Alexander is a great tackler as a slot CB but so was Dennard so it’s basically a wash there. Think it will take the linebackers some time to develop considering we’ll have two rookies and a 2nd year LB in Pratt , not sure what to make of Bynes just seems like a role guy to me.
