This is a total backhanded compliment, but considering how pathetic our pass rush has been it is surprising that we have a decent pass defense.
Only 4 teams have fewer sacks than us and only one team has fewer QB hits, yet our pass defense is 7th in completion percentage allowed and 13th in pass efficiency defense. We have only allowed two pass plays of 40+ yards and only one team has fewer.
Not near good enough, but it makes me think that if we could get more pressure on the QB we would probably have a good pass defense. But if we hve to start blitzing like crazy our coverage will suffer. Right now we are dead middle of the pack (17th) in blitz percentage.
