We’ve been one of the worst defenses in the league the last 3 years with Geno playing. Geno and Dunlap aren’t the same players they used to be. Daniels is kinda in the same boat he was a pro bowler with the Packers and started to get old and decline so they cut him. The Lions signed him and had one of the worst defense in the league didn’t resign him. If it wasn’t for Tupou getting injured he’d probably still be unsigned. Geno and Daniels are better than what we’ve had next to Reader but they won’t save this defense.

I completely disagree. Dunlap had one of the best seasons of his career last year. Geno is not the pass rusher he used to be, but you put him on the line with Reader and you are able to rotate Daniels and Covington in for some snaps to keep them fresh and it is a huge difference. They haven't been able to do it yet.

I guarantee when they are able to use their rotation, the run defense will improve to at least respectable.
