John, possibly missed it, but re: D, I didn’t hear comments on lack of talent. I agree with newness & lack of time to ‘gel’, but the reality is they were already lacking solid starters & depth @ corner and edge. So with injuries, we now move from very questionable starting talent to even weaker down depth chart.
I guess the biggest disappointment with the coaches, is the play of defense considering DQ is a defensive HC. I assumed swarming, and sure tackling. Did AP so poorly sign players that they are stuck with poor tackling/covering Mike Davis and using Forbes when he isn't ready? Chinn has been a disappointment as has the entire dline. We knew about Mathis possibly being a bust, but DQ gushed about Payne and Allen when he accepted HC job. Haven't seen what he saw; is Allen playing like he expects to be traded? We will see how Newton does with this dline and JAG DEs.
Appreciate the Newton update! If he can live up to the promise of being a true disrupter, he’ll make everyone’s job on the defense that much easier!!!
turn your mic volume up, thanks
Eliminate red zone penalties and immediate improvements will follow. Guaranteed.
Thanks JK

What did AP/DQ see in in Armstrong to sign him 3 yrs/$33M, $22M guaranteed? He has 2 asst tackles and no sacks through 2 games.
