No defense is ever easily top 5. Whether we were top 5 last year depends on which common metric you pick. We were 9th in points allowed, 6th in yards allowed, 5th in yards per play allowed, 31st in takeaways, and 32nd in drives ended by turnover. Overall we were not a top 5 defense last year. But even a top 5 defense has a very hard time repeating as a top 5 defense the next year, most don't.

Gotta do better here. And you're right, we were NOT a top 5 defense last year. Some people just like to sugarcoat s***.

Takeaways.

We were only better than the LV Raiders in this dept for 2022.

Some people may sugarcoat and other choose to smear their own **** all over instead. I'll take the sugar, thank you very much.

SUGARCOATED :Altered to seem better than it really is, made more attractive.

Amen brother! People who sugarcoat come across fake, shallow, and insecure. People who **** smear more likely than not to keep it real. I’ll take real over sugar coat any day😎
Besides, there’s something to be said about a mf who takes shots at a member whom he knows has him blocked
