But the defense that played the other day is not going to be the defense that's playing for us a month or so from now. What I mean is, they are going to improve. Getting Gay back will help up front immensely. Getting McDuffie will also help, but just getting live snaps in will help these guys get more comfortable in Spags system. It literally happens every season. By weeks 10 or 12, Spags will have a much better idea of what all these new guys can and can't do, and he'll put them in positions to succeed. That's what he does every year.

But we're 20th in yards allowed and 25th in points allowed. I'm not the biggest EPA guy, but according to EPA, this defense is on par with the 2018 Sutton defense. I don't know it doesn't really feel like that though. |

Because i think a lot of it is situational.
I agree, they are playing better than their numbers suggest. A few big passes down the sideline here and there, DPI's that put opponents in scoring position etc.

People are flat willing to overlook some early season warts if it means improvement at the end of the season and there's certainly some promise there. |

Well, there's a pretty massive flaw in this defense that doesn't have a realistic fix this year outside of a blockbuster trade, and it's the complete inability to pressure with 4. We have to rely on blitzing to generate it most of the time and our DBs aren't holding up well. Fenton in particular has been absolutely awful.

He's been genuinely awful this year. On 23 targets he's given up 19 catches for over 250 yards. That's just not going to cut it going forward.

Spags can never figure out how to stop the run or close out games. Same shit, different year.

I'm thinking and hoping that getting Gay and McDuffie back will go a long way in improving the D. The pass rush is a different story. Need an upgrade there it seems, or get healthy.

Two weeks ago, it was the number one run defense.
Now they're as bad as the 2018 Sutton Efense. Maybe we ought to let it settle in a bit more before we freak out. |

When you can't get pressure with 4, you can't or won't have a good defense in today's NFL.
It's just the reality of things. |

They've been rebuilding the defense for like 3 years via the draft and it's still shit.
What is the deal? |
