For a long time people have said kam is the most vital piece to the D and even i have. That without him they just arent the same and hes basically the enforcer. Dont get me wrong he is a beast and very important as a physical run stopper who can lay the wood on guys. But earl is the real tone setter and always has been.
Its been pretty much on full display each game he was out this year, when kam was out they had a little drop off but not as badly as now. The middle of the field is all of a sudden a wide open target and weakness and it never was. Earl is the reason hawks are able to play so much single high because earl has one of a kind instincts and can close distance like no other. He cant be beat over top because he is too fast , he closes in on seams and takes them away also.
This gif ^ sums up what he does in a nutshell. And without him the 3 deep basically becomes a weakness instead of a strength and its glaring now. They can still go without kam , they cant without ET plain and simple. Terell is gonna keep getting torched and pete will keep calling the cover 3 without the most important player. This sucks ass.
