Thanks for calling me out about backing my opinion with facts
My opinion was that they gave up a lot of easy yards to RB and TE. But would agree that it is not as bad as other years.
I decided to fact check my "eye test".
It appears that they have allowed RB's to gain 26.5 yards on 3.3 receptions per game which would place them fifth best in the league. So clearly they are much much better. Last year they gave up 48.5 yards per game on 4.8 receptions
TE's have gained 64 yards on 5.2 receptions per game against them which places them as the second worst in the league. Last year they gave up 49 yards per game against the TE on 4.1 receptions per game.
So I guess I was partly right and partly wrong.
