Yes, as others said, it is somewhere in between. Not nearly as good as I thought we would be on Defense this year, especially
the tackling. And then when one of our players makes some great tackles the NFL wants to ban them lol
Seriously though, they need to first improve on tackling and then everything else will sort itself out. We have a lot of youth on
Defense, but we have some very good players. The Texans game as Pistons said was really bad and it made our Defense look bad
for the year.
I blame a lot of the early struggles on Burrow being hurt and always playing in the Shotgun with no running game or no effort to
establish one. Our Defense was on the field so much early on against great running teams. Our Defense is more like the one against
the 49ers when we are playing well. We still struggle against TE's as Kittle shown but we kept him out of the end zone and that is
what mattered.
One thing I have to add, if we are unable to keep Reader I am scared for the future unless we somehow bring in somebody that is
a game changing run stopping NT.
