Last week lost 11 players in cutdown to other NFL rosters, three of which , Dunn, Wildgoose & Pinnock were DB’s. Watch for the Jets to take on a developmental CB on to the PS. Lost a lot but we gained a Linebacker in Chazz Surratt, former third rounder, with a great upside for this Defense.

Very quietly this Linebacking Corp. has come a long way from being a major weakness to a solid group. CJ Mosley is in his second year in this Defense, and second year after a long hiatus. Quincy Williams is getting more consistent, and is beginning to live up to the Coaches hype. Kwon Alexander has exceeded all expectations, will flourish in this system. Sherwood looks fully recovered from an Achilles and has developed as a LB. Marcell Harris is just solid , a pretty decent group, didn’t see this in May of this year. Like the depth of linebackers in the Practice Squad, with DQ Thomas, Chazz Surratt & Nasrildeen, great developmental group.

My only real concern with this defense is the defensive tackles. Not sure if it’s scheme related or lack of communication with the linebackers, but teams were able to run up the middle with ease. The loss of Pinnock confuses me with Vinny Curry going to the IR. I am sure the Jets were not surprised by that decision so why not cut Curry and bring him back.

Baltimore & Cleveland will test this run defense immediately, very concerned. Part of this, is a scheme thing, with no run stuffing DT, haven’t bought in, yet. The assessment skills of this coaching staff is on the line with Defensive Backs. Joyner , Davis and Tony Adams will be spotlighted. Will follow Pinnocks career with the Giants
