So the 3 injuries don't really concern me since our run defense was better with the injuries. What concerns me is how bad the run defense looked with the two starters in the game. I'm not sure whats so hard to comprehend about this.
Folks are looking for anything to make excuses, I get it. But based on what we've seen the first three weeks, the D-line has not been performing poorly due to injury. It performed better once injuries piled up to the current apex.
We had BJ Hill, Rankins, McKinnley Jackson, Cam Sample out (who does slide into DT at times) and Kris Jenkins playing with a club.
We have seen 3 games for God sake. I don't know how you can act like the season is over already and that you have won this argument
already. We are missing DJ Reader clearly and I didn't want him to leave. But that doesn't mean we cannot get better than being the worst
run stopping Defense in the league which we were last season.
