Our best rush package had Chubb, Gregory and Browning on the field all at the same time. After Gregory went down we did some great things with Chubb, Browning and Bonitto. Then, Chubb got traded, Browning got hurt, Bonitto couldn't hold up as an every down player, Dre'Mont Jones missed the last 4 games and D.J. Jones missed the last two.
The waves of rushers we could throw at people made us dangerous. If you take away the frontline guys, it's not going to be the same. Especially with Browning playing the position for the first time and Bonitto being a rookie.
The plus side with all of these injuries is our young guys got a shit ton of reps and will be better for it next year.
