Watch the first 3 games last season especially game 2 against 49ers and then try and tell me through 3 games we don't look remarkably better on both sides of the ball even without arguably our best defensive player in Geno. I'm actually looking forward to watching this team on Sundays again. My head is telling me we are going to surprise a bunch of teams. Based on previous seasons my heart refuses to believe it yet.
The Cleveland game really exposed what was already a mediocre to poor rush defense. But considering we're missing our best defensive player, a starting CB and key pieces of the defensive line through several games, I see progress. Is this unit elite or even good? No, and they won't be this season. But if they can be serviceable, as they were in week 1 and (up until the last scoring drive) in week 3, the team will be in a position to win games. That is, if we can sort out the offensive line, which seems damn near unfixable at this point.
