I have been reading a lot of really confusing comments since Sunday that have mixed up the strengths and weaknesses of this team. Since I haven’t seen a memo anywhere that it’s opposite day, here’s a quick summary of easy to remember unit strengths.
Offense: Passing game > running game
Defense: Defensive line* > the rest
*Post trades the strangest narrative on this sub is that our line has been average or worse at pressure. Statistically we are tied for 6th in sacks with the Eagles, and almost all of our sacks come from the line. We have more team sacks than the Cowboys and 49ers, which probably surprises a lot of you. On top of this all four (now two) of our starting linemen rank in the top 50 for tackles for loss. So if you think we didn’t have a high pressure line you’re wrong.
