Regarding the D, yes it is not good, however, I don't not see disasterous blown coverages or players confused. Yes, they missed 2 yard gain tackles that turned into 10, but it looks like the defense actually knew where they were supposed to be for the first time in over a year. It is one thing when you have lower talent AND are confused, it is another time know where you are supposed to be, but are just lower talent. What do you do in this case? Well, the goal would be to minimize explosive plays and force field goals, or hope a team self destructs on offensive penalties. The truth is our defensive talent is just now understanding the scheme and our staff is still testing out who should be a starter in the secondary, DE, and even tackle. So yeah, the d hasn't forced punts the last 2 games while they are figuring that side out, but just think, we WON those 2 games when the defense is just now learning to play together. I expect the defense to start forcing punts and causing a few turnovers in a months time. Be patient, they are now at least in proper position to compete on defense. Just think, Percy Butler is playing a lot, who saw that? They are seriously tinkering in the basics before they try any trickery. They won, twice! While learning. Yay Yay YAY!
