"We won't really know what our defense looks like until Quinn, Barron, Gaines, and the starting FS (whoever that ends up being) are all out there playing together, and GW is using them the way he intends to. We aren't seeing that yet, we're seeing guys being held out to keep/get them healthy and look at other players."
The fact that we haven't seen who will be the starting unit on defense.
The defense is not going to all of a sudden hit the ground running and be in top form. Whatever that is.
Whatever they are going to be is being delayed by the lack of eps together as a unit.
That means its gonna take longer to jell and potentially another slow start.
They cannot afford that.
So yeah, you're right, we don't know yet. And that's a problem, because nobody knows.
Best,
