Pass Defense has dropped to 27th in the league
The pass defense has dropped to 27th in the league as measured by opposing QB rating which is now 94.9.
In 2011 the opposing QB rating was 88.4.
Is this all on the safeties?
In my worst nightmare I wouldn't expected the pass defense to be one of the worst in the league like this. I know the lack of interceptions play a big part of the QB rating, however, the fact that all these rookie QB are tearing the Cowboys pass defense to a tune of 100+ QB rating (on average) is beyond shocking to me considering the investment made in the secondary over the past two years of signing Carr for $50m, drafting Claiborne, signed Scandrick to the top nickle corner contract in the NFL, and extending Sensy.
