I think the defense may comprehensively be one of the best we have seen in awhile. Doesn't mean they won't get torched here and there. Or some team won't "figure them out" to a degree. Ir they run into a team that just has that much skill.
Sure, they may not have the usual handful of draft picks or standouts. And they don't have gaudy take away numbers. Not sure they have any do they? I think that will change.
But I've only seen one single drive against them.
Granted, early days. And even non TD drives sometimes require flukey plays.
Even without sacks, the line rarely lets the opposing offense execute what and when they are trying to do.
Secondary always seems to be there when the catch is being made.
Linebackers not letting back rack up yards after contact or receivers racking up yards after catch.
Maybe "comprehensive" isnt the best way to say it. In Ferentz parlance, he would call it "complementary defense".
Everybody doing their job and doing it the way they were taught. Phil Parker, man. Phil Parker. We are gonna rue the day we lose him.
