Using INTs to judge pass defense is like using sacks to judge pass rush. It's a good indicator, but also incomplete. Adams also has 25 PDs in 3 years for an average of 9 per year between PDs and INTs. Add in the 6 FFs, 12 sacks, 28 TFL, and 23 QB hits, and Adams seems more like a defensive playmaker than a thumper. To me, that word describes a good run defender who is a liability in pass coverage and offers little else aside from the good run defense. Adams doesn't seem to be that to me.

Good is debatable, let's see how he does without Hopkins.
