He's played in 4 playoff games. Point to me any game changing play he made? Specifically, against SF twice and Green Bay. The Tampa game was against a losing record junk team in Brady's final game. He's not a game changer. EPA per play is some analytics stat. He's the Dak of the defense. Flash against lesser teams, folds and disappears against better teams. Good offenses have no issue moving the ball and scoring points against this defense since he's been here. Is he the only issue? Not even close. But putting the percentage of their assets into Dak and Parsons isn't going to amount to shit, which it hasn't.
They had a chance to tear this whole thing down a year ago and start over. This core is nothing more than a wild card win ceiling and really, that wild card team needs to be below average. Because when they played SF and GB, they got dominated. Which is why the only 2 playoff wins this franchise has had in the last decade. 2018 Seattle, 2022 Tampa. Both of those teams were weak with no offense to speak of.
