JP posits that we still haven't seen what this defense is capable of because Jon Allen, Daron Payne, and Bobby Wagner did not see a snap in the preseason.

We haven't seen John Allen, Deron Payne,
00:04
or Bobby Wagner on the field for this defense yet.
00:07
I think those three men can make a tremendous difference.
00:14
I think those, I think two of those three men
00:18
are going to have to play a certain level
00:20
if we are going to get better play
00:22
out of those guys that you're concerned about.
00:24
Because I think it's very easy to blame the secondary
00:27
when you're not getting pressure up front.
00:30
If they get some pressure up front,
00:31
I guarantee you the secondary will look better
00:33
than what they are.
00:34
I'm not saying that they're good.
00:35
But the consistent pressure up front for years.
00:39
It's football one-on-one.
00:40
For the last four or five years,
00:42
all we talk about is off the edges.
00:44
You know where you can do it at?
00:46
There's a guy who we consider the best in football,
00:48
he retired, number 99, Aaron Donald, right?
00:51
Where does he come from?
00:52
Inside.
00:53
And I guarantee he gets as much pressure
00:54
as any of those other guys.
00:56
Then we got another guy right down there in Kansas City,
01:00
Chris Jones, where does he rush from?
01:02
Inside.
01:02
Inside.
01:03
And he still gets double-digit sacks
01:05
and he disrupts everything.
01:07
We have to get that level of play
01:08
from our interior guys on defense
01:10
and that changes it up for everybody.
01:12
Agree, I totally agree.
01:13
I don't know that we will.
01:15
You certainly hope that that's what happens.
01:18
But there is a massive factor in all this
01:20
that I think has really, really been a problem
01:24
in the run game.
01:27
We're talking about football one-on-one.
01:28
We're going even more basic.
01:30
We're going to football elementary school.
01:31
They've been bad tacklers.
01:33
Yeah.
01:34
And Bobby Wagner might not be the same player
01:37
he was 10 years ago.
01:39
But he's a tackle.
01:41
He's a very short tackler.
01:43
Watching Sammer still.
01:45
And he is super active in the run game.
01:47
He is a hitter, like a thumper, downhill.
01:53
Jeremy Chin, I don't know that Jeremy Chin
01:58
is a really capable cover guy.
02:01
I think there are real questions
02:04
when there's good backs and tight ends on the other side
02:06
about some of the folks that are going to be forced
02:08
into coverage roles.
02:09
But I think in the run game,
02:11
this unit is built much better.
02:15
And that, you know what makes life a lot easier
02:20
for a pass rusher trying to get the edge?
02:21
Jamin Davis trying to learn
02:23
what the hell he's doing from the edge?
02:24
Third and eight instead of third and four.
02:26
Like, let's see, if you can be a good tackling team,
02:30
maybe it limits the ease with which a team
02:33
could go down the field.
