Steve Spagnuolo should get a medal. He took a defense composed of 6 new starters,
new to the team as well as to himself,
installed his version of the 4-3,
lacking a shut down DB,
a new safety and a rookie safety,
no legit top-tier MLB,
and a bunch of cast-off DTs/DEs from other teams as well as our own scrapheap (Okafor/Ogbah/KPass/etc.),
and turned them into a defense that held TB12 to 16 points.
And while I'm at it, I have to admit I was wrong. I said before the season started that Spags would be working miracles if he could get this unit to be a 20th ranked defense. He's far exceeded my expectations. With hat over heart, thank you Mr. Spagnuolo.
Now please reduce Drew Lock as efficiently as you did Joe Flacco. That is all.
