2023 NFL Defensive Unit Grades

[AquaHawk]

I don't get how you give the Cowboys QB room a 3.6 and ours a 2.5 though.

The quality of backup QB was likely a factor:

Dak was 8-4 and Cooper 4-1.
Tua was 9-4 and Teddy/Skylar 1-3 (and contributed to three losses).
Mike White was 1-4 as a starter.

I hope it plays out that way. With the schedule, and quality of quarterbacks Miami faces, a top 10 defense would really be a major accomplishment.

Health concerns for Tua maybe, but I agree.

Ahhhh if we rank 9th I won’t be quick to hand out accolades.

This play is the poster child with what's wrong with the league.

#13 in offense….


Foreshadowing how good we are going to be?

Wow! Suprised to see they think Lamb and Cook in Dallas is a better receiving core than Hill and Waddle.

I don’t know who would choose that core over ours. But okay;

This completely changed the game I had no doubt we were coming back if this stood as a sack. Down 10 and you’re giving the chargers a call like that lol come on

I don’t think they disclose, but most consider top 3 as your “WR core” but who knows, they may be using top 4… either way, there is a pretty steep drop after our top 2.

Hopefully our DL is so good that Raekwon or Wilkins can take some snaps at Guard.

Honestly after Gallop I have no idea who the Cowboys have. They just got Cook…is that top 3 Gallop, Lamb and Cook really better than…Waddle, Hill and say Wilson/Burrios?

As I stated in the other thread where the guy is having a full sized meltdown, it may just be a law of averages… think:

10/10, 10/10, 3/10 vs 9/10, 8/10, 7/10

23 pts vs 24 pts… their average is slightly better without ever saying their top2 is as good as our top2

It’s not like their graph shows us as 15th best unit, It has us as like 2nd or 3rd with consideration that our #3 had like fourteen yards last season. It’s not outlandish.

Vs. Dak who is always healthy?

Yeah and poor Dak without his lover Ezekiel is gonna be a shell of his former self.
