Quote:We are bottom 5 in ToP, Yards/Game, and Points/Game.

 

People love to talk about the sacks. Sure we're getting pressure. But people are running and throwing all over us and putting up big points.

 

Through the halfway point of this season....we are worse in terms of ToP, Yards/Game and Points/Game than last season. Sure we've had injuries. But you cant tell me that our current defensive starters arent more talented than last year's defense. We started 3 rookies last year in the secondary towards the end of the season.....this year we have no rookies starting except Telvin.

 

What progress have we made?

 

The line got better.  The back seven got worse.  It's kind-of a wash in my mind. 

 

The only silver lining is that McCray looks good covering. (needs to work on tackling though)

 

..and that we get to evaluate Colvin a bit in the coming weeks - who many feel would have been a second or third rounder if not for the injury.
