State of the NFL defenses

[Lord Guts]

I was pondering about a few things about the NFL
There really isn't generational defensive players like days past. Whose the last one? Aaron Donald? Besides him the players nowadays the elite ones dont really scream first ballot HOF to me. They too busy doing podcasts
Thoughts?

What constitutes a generational player in this case? First-ballot HOFer? Or are you talking one of the GOATs at his position?

Christian Gonzalez

Nope, not with a name like Gonzalez. Gutsy is a prejudiced/racist monster.

First Ballot at the bare minimum
I have a hard time seeing Garrett as a first ballot

Wait. You said Joe f'n Thuney was a HOF'er, but you have doubts about Miles Garrett?

But i agree with your original premise about lack of elite D players. Just still perturbed by your Thuney take.

What perturbed mean

What perturbed mean

Irritated, bothered, sand in the vagina, puckered asshole, any Captain Stone post.

Parsons
Watt
Garrett

Parsons? The talent is there but I think he needs a couple more elite seasons

TJ Watt, Maxx Crosby, and Chris Jones

TJ Watt, Maxx Crosby, and Chris Jones

I forgot about chris Jones yeah he's HOF
Crosby I think has to win more

Nick Bosa, given health, as well.

He's got 52.5 sacks already, and he's still just 25 years old.

4 seasons, all double digit sack seasons, including his rookie (ROY) season.



He's arguably the most disruptive defensive player in the league right now, and he's been a top 5 defender from the moment he first played a game. So, I get your point, and I agree that he's got more years to go to flesh that all out, but let's at least call him well on his way.

My racist Buckeye is up there but he injured too much

He'd be even greater if he stopped that podcast BS

I think what’s throwing you off is the lack of an elite, shutdown corner right now. The best in the NFL currently would probably be Surtain, and he’s a far cry from prime Revis. The elite defensive players are in the trenches right now.

You may be right but I've yet to see a another Aaron Donald or to your point a Revis in his heyday.
