It. Is. The. Talent. Rankins isnt Reader. Stone isnt Bates. Bell is bad. Pratt is exposed.
your stats on previous years mean nothing.
IDK Frank, at least two members of the defense have publicly stated that once the defense was "simplified" they started playing better. Seems to me that coaching, and not talent, has the power to complicate/simplify a defensive scheme. (now, they never said what specifically was simplified. That could be the terminology, or the actual duties and responsibilities of defenders)
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
