Our pass efficiency defense is FIFTH in the league allowing opposing QBs only a 84.3 passer rating.
Our run defense is still horrid and overall our defense is not close to "good", but we are not a "joke" like some people are claiming.
Other than Cleveland, the offenses we have played are crap. The secondary has played pretty well, especially since we have been down Waynes the whole year, Williams for most of it, and Alexander last week. Bates has been spectacular.
But we have little to zero pass rush & the LBs are still poor. Reader has been good but has little help.
I fear we will be exposed next week.
