I have hope with the defense, we were missing some major parts yesterday in Sheard, Leonard. We then also had Lewis leave the game, Turay and Desir both were guys who were playing injured, and then we had lots of rookies making mistakes, but gaining valuable game time experience.
Justin Houston has not really shown me much so far this year, have been very disappointed in his play.
I just wish that we could get a hand on the ball at some point, yeah we had the one interception, but that was more a terrible throw than good defensive play. Did we have a single pass breakup? We need to challenge the receivers, we are letting them make the catch, then trying to deliver the huge hit to dislodge the ball, don't let them make the catch to begin with! We are consistently getting killed by TE's, i realise Hooper is one of the better TE's, but he appeared to be wide open all day. At least with Jones we did have some coverage in place. There were some outstanding throws from Ryan as well.
Even with the complaints of our pass defense, we won that game relatively comfortably, we had the ball in position to score at the end of the game. I think we punted just the once, special teams overall looked good.
