Gregory Rousseau is not a DT

 

[Shaudluc]

Malek Young was a starter in 2017 that CB group was better

 

[Shaudluc]

2017 DT were proven and battle tested prior to game 1. They also was better than the 2019.

 

[Shaudluc]

Linebackers in 2019 are better. And that because the same guys now have more experience

Why on earth is Robert Knowles listed at safety?

 

[Moonman]

 

[KrazyCane]

Why do you have Robert Knowles in bold for the 2019 team?

 

[moshated305]

Bandy starting at LB?

 

[k9cane]

Can we get a DT to play at the level of Roger McIntosh in 2017?

If UM, oh yeah, it's on....

 

[KrazyCane]

Defensive End is a wash no advantage

Defensive Tackle 2017 has the advantage because 2019 isn’t proven.

 

[JgDaCane]

disagree with a bunch here but its a good thread idea.

 

[GojiraCane]

Gregory Rousseau is not a DT

Fixed. Thanks

 

[motorcitycane]

2017 DE and DT were better
2017 CB and S were better

Has he been moved from safety?

Sure, he should just be somewhere off to the right of Derrick Smith. Listing him as a starter loses you all credibility.

It wasn't my opinions. I was using a website projection. I've just readjusted it per a more recent article following the scrimmage.

Boy got Knowles starting over Gurvan

I see a distinct lack of sources in your post outside your own butt hole.
