Where's the Defense?

I never thought I'd see the day that our Offense would be the one carrying the Team. It seems like the last 5 or 6 games this defense has been as porous as a sieve.

At Atlanta 392 yards and 45 points

At Green Bay 438 yards and 31 points

Tampa Bay 384 yards and 23 points

Denver 292 yards and 10 points (that one wasn't that bad)

At Giants 459 yards and 34 points (this was IMO the worst)

At Saints 417 yards and 31 points

Now I know we won most of these games but I don't think this will hold true during the post season. Against the saints it seemed like our secondary was out of position way to often and this wasn't the first game it seemed that way. Something needs to change IMO if we are to go far in the playoffs.

In some games (not all but some) we appear to lose intensity on defense after we get a lead. Is that the co-ordinator, the players or both?

I think Trgovac's system has lost its edge the last couple of seasons. And there are now three very good D coordinators available in Mangini, Crennel, and Marinelli (don't laugh at that one). I wouldn't mind seeing any of them after this season but I wont hold my breath.

      I don't put Bryce any higher than that, but I don't put Murray up there either.  And we've touched on the reason: an unfortunate tendency to choke. You can have all the best stats in any game you play in, but if you choke at a crucial point and lose the game, guess how much those stats count for? And I will at least admit this when it comes to Bryce: his game performances of late definitely don't reflect choking. Just the opposite, in fact.

      It's a matter of perspective. Hell, TB12 was skipped over 198 times for example. I mean, Montana, Wilson, Dak and a few others were skipped many times before they were drafted. Warner and Romo went undrafted for Pete's sake. Don't get me started on misses (and not just QBs).  His attitude didn't help, but it was reported just as much that scouts/execs didn't necessarily believe he was a day one or two guy. Like I suggested, we'll never know the whole story. Moreover, you can't get around the fact that he's handled his situation in Cleveland with flying colors. That's been widely reported as well.

      I think you misunderstand what I mean by "significantly better than Bryce Young." That gets you entry into the top 30 NFL starting QB's. Not sure if you have seen that group recently, but it's not a strong one the further down that list you go. Murray is a Tier 3 if not Tier 4 QB in my book.
