All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
The 2023 NFL Regular Season Player stat leaders on ESPN. Includes stat leaders in every category from passing and rushing to tackles and interceptions.
I thought both safeties played good. Poyer got toasted once by Tomlinsonsomething and another time by Tye. They'll need to improve their coverage of TEs
Poyer is an OK player, not really great at coverage. I still believe the 2 safeties the Jets have will be far away the better ones in a couple of years (if not sooner) in AFC east period.
I do want to point out that one of the biggest technical issues in Rex's defense last two years is the lack of talent in safeties. Once Aaron Williams were out, they have no one.
Give credit to who deserves it. In this case, Whaley. Fact is, most of the FAs he brought in are good. His pro scouting ability is obvious. The problem is college scouting is a little different. Seeing talent, or potential talent is one aspect, seeing a professional character is much more difficult (especially with the amount of money involved). And of course, being a GM is still much more than pro and college scouting.
Anybody can scout NFL players. It's not hard. They are already developed, and there are zillions of stats/film of them playing at the highest level. No GM should be given credit for scouting NFL talent.

As others have pointed out, and McDermott noted right away upon taking over - last year's entire secondary were bad tacklers. He went out and got better tacklers. Instant upgrade.

Simply not true - choosing how any player fits in your scheme isn't as simple as looking at stats. Film is important.
