You really see Hendrickson, Awuzie, and Hilton being better than Lawson, WJ3, and Alexander?
PFF grades for the guys who left vs their replacements:
WJ3 - 72.4 coverage grade
Awuzie - 52.0 coverage grade
Alexander - 67.2 coverage grade
Hilton - 67.0 coverage grade
Lawson - 84.9 pass rush grade
Hendrickson - 78.0 pass rush grade
The only grade where a replacement was better than the guy who left was Hilton had higher run defense and pass rush compared to Alexander.
Hendrickson had more sacks than Lawson, but Lawson had more pressures.
Hilton had more two more INTs than Alexander.
Hilton can cover but he also excels at rushing the passer(which we need desperately) and stopping the run.
Hendrickson may have benefited from their DL but watched his tape and he finishes and stays on the field. I am tired of the pressure stat....Do you want to know how many times I yelled at the TV because Lawson would be right there and did not finish the play only to see the QB complete a 1st down pass or run for 10 yards? And again, he stays healthy and on the field.
Are we better? I do not know yet, I have not seen them play.
