I don't think they have, TBH.
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.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
