I know that's false because DJ Reader couldn't lift anything heavy without getting hurt.
He was really good when he was on the field, but he was barely ever on the field.
24.43%
52.49%
38.32%
48.77%
That's the snaps he played on our defense while he was here. That's an average of 41%. That's closer to 1/3 than 1/2. He went on the IR in 3 out of 4 seasons here. This defense sucks, but we shouldn't be rewriting history.
He played his 2nd most snaps as a Bengal last year and we had the 26th overall/30th YPC rushing defense. DJ Reader not being here isn't why this defense sucks.
