One last thing about this defense, Flores put together this roster like he really wanted.. We have 2 shutdown Corners (Xavien,Jones) 2 great Nickel CB's (Needham,Inboghene) Great Safety play (Rowe, Mccain, Perry)
This has allowed us to load up the line and overload Offensive Lines, It reminds me of the New England Defenses we have seen over the years they build the secondary first and the Linebackers,Dline used to murder us with most players i couldn't even remember on the Pats..
I give Flores a ton of credit on our defensive performance thus far, We don't have a single big name at LB, DE,DT but our line is looking like the best Line in the NFL because our Secondary is so lockdown we can live with one on ones even against Deandre Hopkins..I actually think those PI's on Howard might be by design. I wouldn't be surprised if Flores instructions to howard and Jones were to not let the WR's get past you NO MATTER WHAT.
