Is Lafell better than Marvin Jones last year?
Are Clarke and Hunt better than Gilberry?
Is Williams better than Reggie Nelson?
When you lose good players, bench guys get a larger role...so that guy is personally going to get more PT than the year before...but is the overall position upgraded?
Yes Shaw has been better than Hall last year and the stats say so.
The stats show Lafell has been better than MLJ so far this year compared to early last year as Bfine has shown.
Yes Clarke and Hunt have been better than Gilberry and the stats say so as do the pressures and blocked kicks.
No, Shawn has not been better than Reggie though, that is for sure.
