Can we talk about Mr Beasley for a second? Jeez.
Talk about hope for next year on the 2nd level. He could become Banks 2.0 for sure.
I had worries about both LBs and DBs, but now I'm feeling a bit better about the LBs. Slaughter looked good too!
Beasley has really looked good, his overall tackle totals were down from last year but that's not a bad thing because it wasn't a lack of effort we just had more depth at LB and were able to rotate more guys this year (Page III & Mitchell both finished with 37 or more total tackles this year)
But Beasley lead the team in total tackles (76), solo tackles (39), assisted tackles (37), TFLs (13), and was tied for second in sacks with Roman (3).
I don't know -where- Slaughter ends up next year, but he has to be starting in the secondary. Walker and McDonald also both have to be starting. Losing Young sucks, but I'm optimistic that Roman takes a stride next season and Josephs and/or Pearce emerge as well (hoping both stay with us).
And the '23 class is FULL of potential stud defensive players, so I think we may see the offense take a small step back but the defense take a big step forward.
