My Concerns

The defense is concerning.....but they've held when they needed to.  That FG after the blocked punt was a HUGE stand.

Agreed on both points.

It seems like across the league these RPO offenses are tearing it up, but defenses will catch up and although they won't shut them down, when teams like ours keep rotating fresh bodies on the defensive line in the game while offensive linemen will be in there every down, every game and will begin to wear down.  

It is kind of like baseball:  Early on, it seems the pitchers have the upper hand, but the hitters always catch up. 

If there could be a bit more pressure out of the front four(it is coming), the secondary will benefit tremendously.  Right now, it seems like the secondary is being coached to not give up anything over the top, but some of the time they are so far off that when they "rally to tackle", they often miss.  Shawn Williams takes horrible angles in these cases.  

I would also like to see a few more corner and safety blitzes.  Dennard has shown to be a very solid pass rusher in very rare instances when given the opportunity.
