The sustainability of this defense...

[Joelist]

Earlier in the year the D had three big issues: Tackling, backside seal/contain and explosive plays. They seem to have mostly cleaned up the backside issues and the tackling has improved a little (but is still an issue). Explosive plays are the big remaining problem. We still keep losing receivers in the zones and it is frustrating because this is what they did not do in past years. I'm hoping that this is inexperience and they start to clean it up.
