Defense balled today, especially from the last drive before the half forward. Keeping in mind, the secondary is short handed, Derek got his between the 20’s but the D made multiple terrific stops. They also corralled Kamara very well for the most part. This D isn’t getting pounded on the ground like last year. It’s not a great D yet, but it’s certainly a massive improvement on recent seasons, and Ryans has them tackling better, setting the edge better…now it’s all about fine tuning.
In short, imo 76 gives this D short shrift. And if the offense had sustained anything in the 2nd half, they wouldn’t have needed to make those awesome stops late in the game. Defense played very well today. I’m pumped for the future. It’s all up from here.
