- No Hugh
Front 4 doesn't seem to be generating the kind of pressure we're accustomed to either, and I can't figure out why.
They still might win 9 or 10, but they are at best a second tier team with this roster.
- Losing Marvin Jones is a big issue
- Eifert had a great season last year but other than that has been hurt and done nothing really
- Burfict missed 17 games the past two seasons, 20 if you include this season
- Adam Jones had two bad plays. He's been good otherwise
- Whit is one of the few bright spots on the offensive line
- Pretty much
- Nelson is also aging he's not good in Oakland right now
- Had to move on, he's not doing much better in Minnesota, trust me
- Losing Hue is the biggest problem
Outside of losing Sanu and Jones, the core players are still in tact. Smith we had to move on from. I wish we would have kept Nelson but have you seen him on the Riaders?
Our defensive line needs to finish plays. They get penetration and pressure. But they don't get the QB down.
Losing Hue Jackson is the worst thing that could have happened to this team right now. Zampese's play calling is trying too hard to be Hue with formations but there's no execution and no real substance.
