Losing Suggs was bigger than Ngata. Brandon Williams is good enough. And they're doing a good enough job stopping the run. Bell lit them up, but they're still ranked 14th in yard allowed, tied 7th for yards per attempt, and that's with teams rushing the 10th most on them (so it's not just teams ignoring the run because the pass works).

 But when you're assuming that your #1 pass rusher won't have a season ending injury midway week 1, you can choose to not pay your #3 the #1 money he is getting from Chicago. But, yea, Smith has regressed and Webb just looks old. They need help. Fortunately we traded for that back up cornerback Will Davis... oh, he's out for the season...
Draft pick well traded. lol...
