Briggs has been pretty good at defensive tackle and I thought he was dreadful to start the year especially when he gave up that huge Javonte run. Malachi Moore looks to be a solid enough safety. You don’t see him show up on tape getting beat or missing massive amounts of tackles. Every time someone got beat last week it was Isaiah Oliver, Adams or Stiggers. AZ Thomas looked pretty damn good for a rookie 3-4 games in. I mean again some of this is grasping at straws but that stuff is at least something to hang our hat on. The linebackers are the worst in the league. Not sure if they’ve regressed or if Quinnen and a really good front covered up their deficiencies. They need 3 new starters there as far as I’m concerned.
I used to believe in all that but then the Jets hired the offensive coordinator from literally the greatest offense in modern history and he was worse than every defensive guy you mention
I don’t know about Clemons improving, other than he isn’t getting a stupid penalty every game, but he still makes very few plays and fewer impact plays. He’s a third string backup DE at best.
