Just like Pratt there is stops at the line of scrim and tackles for 5-yard gains.
BJ is too small to hold up the D-line by himself the whole line got pushed back last year pretty much on running plays.
You only stare at the numbers and not where the tackles were made on the field.

So let me get this right, BJ Hill has the most Tackles for Loss of his career, and you want to confuse him with Germaine Pratt?
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Last 4 Superbowl Winners

Is anyone confident that BJ Hill is as good as these players at the 3T?

It doesn't feel like the goal is to build a SB team. We're trying to get a little better with value guys.

Their building a defense like a team in rebuilding mode. I really don't understand the lack of urgency or lack the of commitment by the FO.

The Defensive grabs are not the problem from what I am seeing of Al Golden. I have no ***** about this side of the ball.
No Guards give me the heebeegeebees....

The defensive grabs feel like they are based on input from Golden to address gaps in the unit before the draft. He knows what his system is after all.

If the young, high drafted. guys on defense don’t take a massive leap, it wouldn’t really matter who they brought in. The one guy I wanted, Bobby Wagner, never hit FA.

Heard on the way to work this morning that James Daniels went to the Phins for less than we were previously paying Cappa. So there's at least one off of the potential wish list.

And Fries went to the Vikes. There goes 2.

The Fries contract is crazy. He is getting more than LT's like Orlando Brown and our sack leader Trey Hendrickson.
My hunch is Becton also wants the farm.
Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!

Maybe the bolded part is where the confusion lies...

Tevin Jenkins I think is still out there. Always wanted him in stripes since college. Zeit or Scherff are older but would be better than our current
Guards and stay healthy.

FYI Zeitler is gone now, too
Officially time to start worrying that the plan on having Volson and Ford as their starting Guards.
And I do like Hill but the 2nd year guys are going to have to step up.
