I don't see any great increase in our ability to create pressure which would probably limit what we can achieve on defense. But maybe we get some valuable playing time for Jenkins and Jackson and they prove to be key players going forward as well as DJ Turner who has been very close and looks to me to have taken a step forward.
The defense was bad yesterday and has been bad. But they kept continually making good plays they just couldn't string 3 together to save they're lives in the 2nd half. Lamar threw some ducks yesterday and the fact we couldn't make him pay for that is embarrassing.
How can there not be a great increase? Murphy has been hurt all season and just got healthy enough to play, same with Kris Jenkins,
McKinnley Jackson and Hubbard just barely started to look healthy. DJ Turner is young with elite speed and fluid hips. Getting Jordan
Battle back in there could really help at Safety.
You are correct, the Defense needs to string 3 good plays together is all, not like Lamar wasn't playing very good and when he is
playing very good everybody knows he is hard to stop especially when he is passing well out of the pocket.
I just find it laughable that people are saying this Defense cannot improve. They have been historically bad and have been beat up
and are extremely young. I find it much more likely they improve than continue to suck worse.
Back to the thread though, Chase is playing great and we should of paid the man what he wanted before the season. He will be more
spendy after this year is still my opinion.
