regarding judon - the RTP was annoying but this probably contributed a lot to the lack of pass rush production:
judon dropped into coverage on more snaps than he rushed the passer...
He was probably the biggest pleasant surprise for me. Looked good in all phases. Pass rush and in coverage
I really hope Bowser is coming into his own, he’d be such a weapon
I think this is huge. Not only is he realizing his potential but the coaches are also putting him out there on plays that he can succeed. Mostly obvious passing downs. He isnt the best run defender and that became apparent last year on the long Chubb runMore interesting usage numbers talking about bowser and judon:
bowser was the 3rd most used pass rusher in the game behind calais campbell and derek wolfe - with 23 pass rush snaps - and 7 coverage snaps
if that's an indicator of his usage moving forwards that's encouraging - he's not used much on 1st down but he's a weapon in obvious passing downs

HOW THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN USING HIM ALL ALONG
I know you always want the best out of your players but we wasted years trying to get him to do a little bit of everything instead of just letting him do what he does best - use that speed and athleticism to get after the QB. Not saying by any means that he's becoming a 12 sack guy this year but let the guy play in this role and see what happens.

Must not have had a good camp.Notable that jaylon ferguson's snap count was much smaller than last year - obviously pernell mcphee being back takes away some of his snaps but he was 5th out of the 5 OLBs in terms of snaps
Must not have had a good camp.
tony jefferson always felt the most at fault on that play to me, because he was the clean up guy, the others just failed miserably on their gap assignments, but jeffersons primary role on that play is to be sure hes not gonna break a long one, and when chubb was already cutting upfield TJ was screaming downfield about 5 yards off the mark, he looked absolutely ridiculous on that play.tbf on re-watch tyus really isnt at fault on that chubb run as i initially thought - it's 48, 40, 93 and 23 who were mostly the culprits - none of whom are on the team anymore
Tyus's job on that play is to take on the pullers and hold the edge which he tries to but the play doesnt really go that way anyway... the problem is onwuasor overruns (not really sure what he's looking at), same with TJ who also runs himself completely out of the play, kenny young seems to line up in the wrong place and chris wormley as a DL gets solo blocked and controlled and sealed by a TE
just awful all round that play - all the main culprits are gone though
