Our defensive line is being massively underrated.

Chris Jones is probably 1 of 1 in the NFL now, and Karlaftis is really good.
Outside those 2 there's some questions that could pop up on the DL. |

Spags is the great equalizer in how he utilizes his guys, however. He knows how to scheme and coach while the Raiders just seem happy to let Crosby go all HULK SMASH with him (not even saying that's wrong; he's THAT good). I'm not upset at that, and I'd probably argue the receiver group as well, even with Kelce being the great equalizer to Devante Adams. |

The Chiefs have some potential, but FAU hasn't really shown anything and Omenihu is coming off injury. |

![]() Danna is not a ? Omenihu should be fine when he gets healthy. The only ? Is FAU and there's absolutely no reason to think he won't be better in year 2. |

The defense is now without a couple key contributors from last year for most of the year, so status quo on the DL isn't ideal. Omenihu probably isn't back to normal til December and FAU didn't exactly burst onto the scene last year. |

The only significant loss was Sneed, and the secondary is still really ****ing good without him, and we all know how good Spags and Merritt are with the DBs. That room is still loaded with young talent, so there should really be no concern of a huge drop off. I'm not exactly expecting arguably the best defense in the NFL again, but there's absolutely no reason to think this shouldn't be a top 10 defense again. FAU was a 21 year old rookie. Again, absolutely no reason to think he won't be better. His pressures per snap were similar to rookie year Karlaftis, just didn't get the snaps due to a deeper group.

We got 18 sacks from the secondary and LB's last year, hopefully we don't need that to happen again if the DL progresses as hoped. |

George Karlaftis 10.5 sacks Charles Omenihu 7 sacks (missed 6 games due to suspension) Mike Danna 6.5 sacks Without Omenihu's suspension, we probably have 3 guys with double digit sacks, and when your 4th best pass rusher is getting 6.5, that's damn good. The DL was a lot better than you're giving them credit for, and that's why I brought up that it's the same group as last year. Why would we stop blitzing guys like McDuffie, Bolton, Tranquil, and Chenel though? They're good at it too. Part of the reason Spags is so good is because of his ability to creatively bring pressure from every level of the defense. |

I wouldn't be surprised if they started off hot to the tune of 4-1 or something. The media bandwagon comes in to hype them up, Steven A Smith will start comparing Antonio Pierce to Vince Lombardi. And then reality sets in and they come crashing down, finishing 6-11 or 7-10.

But one of those guys isn't likely to play much this year for a while....I'd imagine not until late in the season. So we're gonna need FAU to come on pretty good |
