This Defense is better

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

It feels like they gave up wayyyyyyy more than 17 points today, doesn’t it?

Agree, and if you did not watch the game but just go by the forum I thought we were getting our tails handed to us about the D.

wow off Herbert not bad at all

Herbert is the real deal. It is going to be hard for teams to beat the Chargers in the coming years.

i want to see what they do against hurts, darnold, daniel jones and mac jones next 4 games.

brady and herbert is really tough.

 

[Grenic]

Its not better by any means, its just the same, they cant cover, they never put pressure on the qb just pathedic

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

The run game always help the defense.

It could be argued they won't face a better QB than Brady and Herbert until Mahomes in week 11.

Man I hope this team doesn't come out tripping next week.

I think they know it's an important game being a division opponent. They usually are really good against division opponents since Dak been QB

So holding a top offense like the chargers to 17 points isn't better.......

Both starting ends out.....

I was hesitant to compliment them last week because I wasn't sure if it was us or if the Bucs were just rusty. This week confirmed it. They still can improve and they aren't all-pros, but they still played very well for a team missing 3 starters.

They are better than last year,
But that's an extremely low bar.

We missing a legit, consistent defensive line stud, preferably at DT but any position is acceptable. Love that we are creating turnovers though

 

[DuncanIso]

Considering we had a bunch of Jags on the D-line today and then Parsons playing a spot he hasnt played since high school, I think we did well.

DEs need to work on outside contain.

 

[Techsass]

OK there is still a lot that needs improvement, but they are definitely improving. Having both DLaw & Randy out was major.
The way they're now getting turnovers hurts every team we play and I can't wait to see where they'll be after a few more games.

 

[Daillest88]

People forget how bad our defense was last year…. Again WFT gave up way nore big plays than this defense did. And we we were missing our starting edgerushers. Good job by Quinn by putting parsons on the edge he had like 8 pressures today

We missed 3 players. Not 3 players who are starting material.

Legitimate and consistent edge pressure from Parsons changed the entire defense.

Offenses finally hafta account for a bona fide Alfa I'm gonna prevent this 3rd down conversion or die trying beast.
Not a pressures, TFLs, run stopping War Daddy.
An "Actual Dawg " that you hafta account for where he's lined up every passing down -Lawrence Taylor style

However Quinn needs to continue using him in this primary role will only benefit this defense going forward

Did you watch the game? really it looked just like last years D and at times worse

Not too worried about Jones. I am more worried about the coach.

Did you watch the game at all, or do you just want to be in on the conversation?

Meanwhile, the Bucs put up 48 on the Falcons. This defense is definitely improved and should only get better as the season goes along. Alot to be excited about right now!
