I have said over and over on this site for years.......
No pass rush, no pass defense.
Once this team was able to harass the QB, the pass defense became better. Not to take anything away from the DB's. But their time covering the receivers is critical in stopping the other team. Get the QB off his spot and have defenders creating a chaotic pocket is how defenses win.
We all saw that this past Sunday.
The only change none of us could predict was one player changing the dynamics of the defensive line to such a great degree. Parsons has elevated the play of the entire eleven men on the field when he enters the game.
Kind of coincidental his number is 11.
