Our Defense gives up big plays

Very little yardage due to CBs in short and medium routes, and only a couple of big plays but both given up by Dennard who isn't a starter.

People are talking about what will happen if we play New England and whatnot, which I think is ridiculous at this point of the season, but I don't think we would match up very well with them at the time being with our current performance at LB and S in coverage.

One change I noticed after the half (I was at the game so I have yet to watch it in detail at home) was the dropped MJ into coverage in the middle of the field trying to cut off lanes for the shorter routes.

I am not overly concerned, I would guess our young guys did make some mistakes in coverage, but they gained valuable experience for the future. I am confident our defense will get better as the year progresses, I am hopeful our offense can keep up the torrid pace (#2 in the NFL I believe in yards).
