We have had a couple of weak recruiting classes which have killed the depth we are known for. Over the past two seasons, when a game changer has left, there hasn't been one to fill his shoes

Examples?

Trying to think of recent examples..

CB: PP7 left and and next year Brooks and Claiborne kept the depth. After Brooks and Mo, Simon was still around.

S: Brandon Taylor leaves and Eric Reid is there. Tyrann thrown in the mix somewhere.

Obviously DB hasnt been an issue in the past.

LB: Kelvin Shep leaves, ryan baker is there. Baker leaves, Minter is there.

RB: Ridley leaves, Ware and Ford step in. They leave and Hill is ready.

DL: Nevis leaves, Levingston (probably doesnt count if we're talking game changer), but Brockers is still there. He leaves but Mingo, Sam, Edwards and Logan are still on the line.

WR: Toliver leaves, Randle is there. Randle leaves and Landry and OBJ step up.


You said recent years so those are just some since 2011.

Now, THIS YEAR, nobody really stepped up on the defense. I can not argue that. But you said the past two season, and that just isnt true at all. Look at how good our defenses were the past two seasons and that will defunk the bad recruiting argument. Eight players from the D leave for the draft but I guess non of them ever stepped up.
