Maybe that's what he is a very good Rotational player and sub Package player. Kind of like what Kevin Kaesviharn was for us in the mid 2000s.
Dude is allowing a 113.9 passer rating when targeted.
Dax Hill, who Stone replaced, allowed a 114.8 last year.
Not really any upgrade in that department.
Hill had 9 missed tackles last season. Stone has 3 missed tackles in 4 games. On pace for more missed tackles than Hill had.
Stone has just 1 PD this season. Hill had 11 last year.
I've not really seen any improvement at FS going from Hill to Stone.
But maybe I'm not watching that spot close enough to spot the differences?

This defense needs a guy like that, and I don't see Stone's speed and athleticism being able to do it.
