Denali Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Yes, they are way better than we expected. But aside from that, is our defense actually good? I'm shocked to say that I actually think we are. And in an unconventional way. At times, the defense looks bad, but at other times our defense makes key stops as well. I am beginning to think this is exactly what you get with DLB. The overall results sure as heck look good to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 If the offense could have scored on any of the drives earlier this is a different game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleEye Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 no just that the offense is worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos27 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Yes we do. They're just not "great" but this defense can win us some games once the offense stops the shit stream traveling down their legs every Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jphardy Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 No. Give up too many 1st's on 3rd downs. Their receivers just dropped a lot. Decent at times, but far from "good". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titansfan920 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 The defense is good enough. I wouldn't call them great and would struggle to say good yet. They bend but don't break. it seems like our CB's are constantly getting beat and we can't seem to generate enough pressure. But our run defense has been really stout and overall they seem to be keeping people to overall short gains which is nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenIsLegend Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 I wouldn't say so just yet. They seem pretty solid at times, but it's only in spurts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansfb Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 defense is good enough. if our offense was average on a consistent basis, we'd have a legit shot in this weak division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titans279 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Not elite, but I would feel comfortable saying "good" right now. A few injuries though and it could all quickly unravel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
terradawg Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 our defense is a lot better than expected but we're still pretty weak in the secondary. i thought avery williamson had a horrible game and i usually like him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinx81 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Defense= average which is better than expected. Offense= below average which is worse than expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denali Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 What I also mean by unconventional is that looking at most any individual player, aside from a scant few like Casey, the player is average at best, and perhaps most of our players when looked at individually would be considered below average. And yet somehow we are getting good overall results. This has to be on DLB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 The D has benefitted from a ton of drops the last 2 weeks. They have not played great, just OK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos27 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 To look even as good as they have with the way the offense is playing is impressive to me. If you ever played defense on a team with a shitty offense, you know the feeling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
