Shanny historically has struggled to pick winners on defense (coaches and players) AND he let's his ego/pride get in the way.
So far what I see are flashes out there. Trent. Torrain. Landry. Orakpo. But defensively it's hard to argue this regime has done anything but screw the pooch when you consider where we were just a year ago. |
Honestly, regardless of the defense we have, our offense is still not good enough to compliment whatever the defense can do. Even by giving up a ton of yards and dropping 4 (or 5) picks, the defense still gave our offense a lot of opportunities to win the game.
Ideally, I think last year's defense with the slightly improved offense of this year would be the ideal situation, but that's just wishful thinking.
