I'm not saying our defense was terrible, they were actually better this last year than 2015, but I am just not buying into this 6th ranked defense. There are other factors that can play a role in yardage from scrimmage. Just as someone who watches a lot of football for a long long time, the Jags defense does not pass the eye test of a top 5-6 defense. 

 

You will know a good defense by its fruits, those are the turnovers, big plays, and stops. Yeah BBINT put them in a terrible position all year but they did little to help themselves by forcing turnovers and not giving up tds. I think realistically, our defense is a top 15-20 defense. I am buying into our talents on that side of the ball though. A few more pieces and the right scheme will go a long way. 

 

It's never a good sign when key players on the defense are complaining that they are being used incorrectly.
