They were bad with Barr and Cook. Hunter hurts, but the went and got Ngokue. Horrible job with personnel. The defense is a huge problem. Spending that many early picks, the highest cap percent spent on defense in the league and a defensive-minded head coach for this piece of garbage defense?
I can’t claim that I ever considered Ngakoue anything more than an iffy pickup at best.
The OL is so bad that Cook was at least a distraction for Cousins to be able to pass. Now they don’t have that.
The corners are green, and need the veteran presence that Pierce, Hunter and Barr would provide. Frankly, I figured this defense was doomed the moment Pierce opted out because of COVID concerns.
I mean seriously, you’re complaining about the defense being bad all season when they’ve been missing Pierce and Hunter all year—and before Barr was hurt, the inexperienced corners were riddled with injuries?
Do you usually post in the Cyclone GameDay threads after losses? Sounds like the exact same thing.
