I love that we are somehow in front of the 49ers in that pic, lol.

Gutted the 2022 defense?
Just a few sample numbers:
Allowed most passing TDs in league
Allowed the most YAC in the league
Early down success ranked 29th
Points allowed per game 31st
Yards allowed per game 26th
Seems like gutting that defense was smart. They made 2 questionable decisions; Allen & Murphy. Hard to understand those 2 decisions as we don’t know why. Were they getting bad advice and from whom?
Yes, when you have a bad unit and then choose to not re-sign or replace three of the four best players on that defense, you are creating your own problems.

Not sure how much he had to rely on the staff in place. That’s would have made me very conservative. Even considering he got Johnson, Wilson, Stills and Williams. That’s quite decent. Maybe I’m even wrong about Gaines’ potential. He looked better than I expected.

Except that almost all of those guys were more productive pass rushers than Ojulari in college
Golden did. Zach Allen’s top year 6.5 Sacks, 10.5 TFL
Ojulari’s top year 7 Sacks, 11 TFL
Only Allen was more impressive. I already said they should have offered him.
You can’t count Watt, he retired.

I suppose you could say Watt could have been replaced, but I’m not sure that was possible.
