These numbers will undoubtedly change as the season runs along. Perhaps there are reasons why they are skewed this way? At present there are 2 more players on O than D on the 53 as well that 17th player DE is really a JAG or a warm body for practice situations.
Perhaps as well there is a need for a greater number of defensive players for competitive situations or training or there are a few unreported marginal injury situations that require rest for the starters or those on the 53. Maybe as well the players here are those seen to have a higher potential upside that others didn’t or these are players at positions seen to be of higher potential value to the team presentl.
There are some troubling injuries of players that were expected to be significant contributors to the D and the numbers inequity could just be Mac’s work around.
It might be interesting to see what the Ravens did with their PS as well. However, one thing for sure is that the situation will continue to churn.
