Eli Apple has started 58 of the last 61 NFL games he has played.
And Herbert just scorched our D 3 weeks ago.

Our defense is not close to top 5 even if you take away our 2 worst games. The #5 defense in the league allows 319 yards per game. We have only held 5 of our 14 opponents under that amount.
