Defense did more than enough even with young player mistakes to win the week two match up. Growing pains aren't going to go away overnight. I wouldn't say slow is the problem more than people staying on their man and not biting on double moves so often that leads to big plays. I still like the talent we have in the secondary and think they are going to grow into one hell of a unit. Too early in the season for me to give up hope in that. As stated previously we gave up 17 points on the road to a division foe. That isn't on the defense in my book for the loss and not the biggest of my concerns going forward at the moment.

Randall looked like he was expecting help in the middle and up top. He purposely moved into a trailing position.

Why am I focusing on the defense? Because if you have a great defense you can have Trevor Simian at QB and win, or you can win a SB with Trent Dilfer as your QB.

Randall turned his ankle in the first half. We've got guys who can't run due to injury and guys who are undrafted rookies out there. What do you THINK is gonna happen?

Let's do what we can to burn some clock and keep them off the field as much as possible.

Man, that's some mild response coming from you after this selfshitfest.

Anyway, when we're giving up 205 to an extremely average WR like Marvin Jones, the week after we gave up a career high 180 to Diggs and nearly 300 to Bradford who'd been there for a week or two and all that coming the week after we gave up 320 to Blake Bortles... This is the right time to be concerned.

Our pass defense has been absolutely atrocious. I know the numbers don't tell the whole story, but so far it hasn't looked pretty, either. Our run defense is getting us a lot of longs 2nd and 3rd downs, but if that wasn't the case, we could've been giving up 30 points per game.
