It is amazing what a dominant front 4 can do for the defense. Obviously, if a DT or DE can make a tackle in the run game it is a good thing. But also with a good pass rush, it makes the secondaries jobs much easier. The D had great success last year getting after the QB and I think those numbers will jump even higher this year which should translate into more INT's as well. A QB running for his life makes mistakes and turns the ball over.

I don't think we need another RB. Yes, hopefully Tuten stays healthy. -- goodbadugly May 16, 2024 at 09:02 AM ET
