So I think that, you know, I would say he has a little bit of blame in terms of playing it safe in the secondary.
And obviously Caleb Williams and those guys took advantage of that late in the season.
But there's no question when you take one of the best players in the, in all of football off the field, they're going to be struggles.
He had 12 and a half sacks in terms of Parsons.
What,
83 pressures, 26 quarterback hits.
So yes, when he's not on the field, it's a different defense.
But I think that he maybe could have done a little bit better job in making sure the corners were in better position to have success.
But injuries, number one.
But then number two, like I said, he
maybe could have done a little bit better in having those guys more prepared.
Oh, good question.
You know, it's kind of interesting because I know I just mentioned some of the secondary play that struggled, but there's still a lot of guys.
I'm not trying to use a cop-out with this answer, but there are guys on โ
each level that did some really good things.
So obviously on the defensive front, uh, Devontae Wyatt took a really good step in the interior.
He had four sacks, uh, before he was injured.
So I think he was doing some good things in this system.
Uh, linebackers, Edrin Cooper, he was a young guy, but he has thrived at linebacker and he looks like a future star.
But then on the back end, Xavier McKinney and Evan Williams did some good things.
