I have been saying for a few weeks that there is concern with our defense. No one wants to talk about it because they are just "good enough." Here's a few things of concern:
117 yards team rushing against us.
10 rushing first downs.
They beat us in ToP.
Our defense couldn't get off the field. Yes our offense was horrible and our shiny, new OC turned into Garrett 2.0 but our D has some issues considering they have the "best LB's" and "strong DB's" plus DLaw. Our D was all over Teddy in the first half so they came out and ran the ball all over us and we couldn't get our O back on the field.
I promise no one cares what you've been saying for a few weeks and that isn't the topic.
Okay so I'll start with first downs:
The average amount of 1st downs allowed per game- 20.3
We only gave up 18 first downs last night
117 is also the league average in rushing yards allowed, despite the Saints having a top 2 RB and a top 5 Oline, so that hurts your argument, not helps.
Yes they beat us in TOP, some of that was on the defense some on the offense but mostly due to our three turnovers
Not much else to say really
