Well I don’t know about being the 12th best in the league it says we have given up the 12th fewest yards. 
But they have been better than last. 
19 yards rushing

A shutout. 

Couldn’t sniff that last year. 

Yeah the defensive additions have really helped. Still a long way to go but under the right conditions they can look competent.

We have enough pieces to field a decent defense if only we had a coordinator that didn’t  default to cover-3 zone 50% of the time.  And doesn’t have to be asked sweetly with sugar on top by his best defender to get more pass rush opportunities.

To be fair it was acknowledged that they were bringing DB back slowly and what I read  said the plan had been the 1st 4 games. 
Can’t remember where I saw that it may have been Persons, I read the Athletic. 
But I saw it a couple of days after I speculated that was what was going on.

And that's with a QB gift wrapping points and field position every week. 

Short fields limit yards. 
But 19 rushing in 4 qtrs is just not done. 
Ans there are likely teams up there that had a bye so maybe in reality we are a notch or two higher. 
All it means is we have improved. Which eyeballs can tell you.
 Like was said we have some tough tests ahead.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      By Saca312 · Posted

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
