I am looking for how units of the team change over the course of the season. Improve/weaken.
Let's (taking schedule strength in mind) look:
1. CBs -- about flat so far. Some good, some bad. Rumph gets a lot of coaching love here but he has also had a borderline elite DL since he's been here.
2. S -- Woof. Diaz asks a lot of his Safeties and they have been arguably the worst unit on the team. Not impressive. Bolden might help.
3. DT -- we lost an elite DT. We don't have one yet on the roster. However, Jordan Miller looks much improved and we are solid here. Not great but solid.
4. DE -- No improvement. But a lot has to do with scheme here. Garvin clearly enjoyed having Chad Thomas across from him -- now it's Patchan. Rousseau is clearly the real talent here. The run D has been sneakily excellent, but we are less aggressive and over-reliant on unnecessary stunts.
LBs -- flat. We are what we are. Good. Not great. We struggle, as we have for 2 years, in coverage. This group works best moving forward not laterally.
