Have my reasons why but I’ll just leave this take here. I expect this to get downvoted off the planet but all I ask is for downvoters to please come back to this thread after the Patriot game.
Edit: since requested, my reason is this whole defense has been built around the premise that we have 4 1st round dlinemen who will cause havoc every play. Honestly they are solid players but not a single one is a game disruptor like a Bosa or Chris Jones game in and game out. We built a behemoth of a run stopping defense line right when the NFL was moving to pass happy offenses. So we play team after team with QBs having forever to pass because why Blitz and make use of linebackers with your Allstars linemen. Now we see this as a failed experiment and can now play an aggressive d that depends on all defensive positions instead of just hoping and assuming the dline will somehow make the play.
Toohill will be the next TJ Watt
