Notes From Training Camp 2025

And we’ve had 2 seasons of DJ Turner. I just don’t think he’s that guy. I’m willing to give CTB one more season; but if he sucks this year, I think we need to upgrade and a CB is priority #1. Oddly enough, I have high hopes for Stewart so I think our pass rush will be improved.

Fair enough, we were like 7th I believe and not top 3 offense. Do you feel the ability for the defense to stop drives early and often hurts any offense's ability to get more snaps so produce more yards and TD's?

I think we all agree the OL is still questionable at best as 2 new OL starters projected. I do think our defense had 3 issues in 2024. Talent, coaching (poor development for years) and injuries. I can't see how any fan could predict our defense will be worse than 2025 with a straight face. I would argue with or without Trey all 17 games, they will be better than 2024, but I can see why many would disagree.

I feel defense improved team speed, gets guys back from injury and has a new DC who the team seems to be responsing to in camp. Yes, I know it is camp. Golden will give our defense an element of surprise, teams knew Lou and his defense, not so much with how Golden will design the defense and play calls. 

If the defense gives our offense an additional 8 to 10 snaps a game, that is huge as our offense is our strength. I think they will. I will be paying a lot of attention to T.O.P. in 2025.
