In all phases that 2019 team has regressed from the '18 unit, which is not a surprise since that team had a terrific platoon of DB's and the current one is very young at that spot. Also though Greg R. is a terror the d-line on the whole hasn't replaced Willis's production. The key will be if we can keep Garvin for next season and the young DT's start to show something while the DB's gain experience. If/when that happens the D will be championship level.
