And I am giving them a couple of more games to get a handle on this. The play was so sloppy from most teams that it is hard to evaluate. This is the new norm, the first game is an extended preseason game.To be clear, this is not a pro- or anti- coach post, but rather one focused on the players.
To me, it looked more like there were several players out of position and/or not hitting their (or the right) gaps against the Giants.
In any case, I judge the team by points allowed, not yards allowed. The defense allowed 17 points, which I will take any week.
If they start allowing a lot of points each game, then ALL of the defensive coaching staff should be put under microscope, not just one or two.
17 points seems to be the threshold but that was an offense with only two weapons and they didn't do a good job of handling either one of them.
One thing for sure, Marinelli and Richard have plenty to address going to DC. The D had a bitter taste in their mouth after LA, they did little to make that sweeter in week 1.
