This is the 6th year with Lou Anarumo. They have had a below average defense in 5 of those 6 years. This isn't about Bates, this isn't about Reader. Lou just is not good.
2019: 29th overall / 25th scoring / 26th sacks / 28th turnovers / 25th 3rd down
2020: 26th overall / 22nd scoring / 32nd sacks / 27th turnovers / 20th 3rd down
2021: 18th overall / 17th scoring / 12th sacks / 17th turnovers / 22nd 3rd down
2022: 16th overall / 6th scoring / 29th sacks / 11th turnovers / 20th 3rd down
2023: 31st overall / 21st scoring / 18th sacks / 12th turnovers / 22nd 3rd down
And now we've all seen what his defense looks like in 2024. Lou needs to out-talent his opponents just to be sub-par, that's not a good DC. If you require a well paid vet at 9/11 spots on the defense, with well paid vet backups for some of them, are you really contributing anything as a DC or are you just telling your guys to go out there and be more talented than their opponents? If young guys (the young guys you pick because our scouting department is pathetic) can't learn your defense, that's also kind of a you issue.
as much as I like lou and I've been a lou defender I can't argue with your point on this one..what your saying has merit to it because the only competent draft pick in his defense is CTB and that's sad giving all the draft capital the organization put into his side of the ball..
