It was Preston Brown, The DT’s that couldn’t stay healthy next to Atkins, Vigil, Kirkpatrick, etc. I’m no Marv fan after 2015, but I bet he would have loved if the team brought in $60 million in new players for him on defense. He got draft picks and linebackers on one year deals way past their prime. Now, it’s entirely possible that’s what Marv asked for and in that case he got himself fired.
You know he would have. Dunlap had lapses, Geno had stretches where he disappeared, but then again...Geno is hurt, and is not disgruntled. I've never been much on Williams, TBH. He's had flashes, but inconsistent.
I guess the point was, 2018s defense was breaking records until 2019s unit showed up, and those guys were a part of that. Hell, Marvin had to take over, and even then, they struggled....and Marvin was always known for defense.
Remember why Carlos Dunlap fell to the 2nd round?
