It’s a helluva D, to be sure. And loaded with elite types throughout.

But a couple of things are not meeting expectations, at least not yet.

1) OLB play is not even at NFL average levels, tbh. They blow contain all too often and rarely get there when rushing. I expected more. I didn’t expect Pro Bowl level, but when one considers the DL and the secondary they play with, I do think that the OLB’s should benefit greatly. Sooooo...

2) Suh and AD have not been the Uber dominators that at least I expected. Some may call it heresy to question those two premier DL stars, but I’m just passing along the impressions rendered with my own 2 eyes through the first 3 games. Now, that may yet come. Probably will come as the D gels. But so far? Neither player is justifying their respective salaries, IMO.

Whitworth has
Gurley has
Cooks has
Woods has
Hav has
Sully has
Talib has
Peters has
Brockers has

Nobody’s complaining about the bang for the buck from the above players. But AD and Suh? Still waiting, dammit!

Agree. AD and Suh need to step up big time with Peters and Talib down. No excuses now. They need to start carrying the defense. Way too much money invested in those guys.

Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh continue to be a handful. They may have combined for only one sack, but both were in Philip Rivers’ lap all day. Both interior defensive linemen registered at least five quarterback pressures.
