The defense is much improved. I don't know how you can watch the games and not see that.
They tackle much better, they're playing the run better, the secondary is light years better overall.
In coverage the LB'ers are still subpar, but part of that is selling out to stuff the run.
The fourth quarter issues have a lot to do with being depleted due to injuries so guys are exhausted, and the fact that our offense is also a MASH unit and isn't scoring points OR holding the ball in the second half.
So yeah, there are issues, but it's clearly trending upwards. If our offense had been relatively healthy all this time, we'd be on cloud nine.
