Defense can give up runs and if they can't generate pressure on blitzes then they look average.
The most impressive thing about this season is that this coaching staff is getting more out of this roster than they should. This team still has very obvious holes and there's just things we can't fix this year, and yet we still somehow beat teams like LAR and ARI. Its why I've never been too focused on getting to the playoffs, because this roster is still nowhere near competing.
We are in the 2nd year of a rebuild. The fact that this team somehow has completely rebuilt the defense in just one offseason and we went from needing an entirely new defense to maybe only a MLB, a run stuffing DT and another pass rusher is ridiculous. The hope is that you can have a similar flip to the offense next year and then put the finishing pieces on the roster in 2022.
I legit feel like we only have 4-5 players on offense worthy of significant playing time next year. Thats Tua, Jackson, Hunt and Parker with maybe Geiscki who just isn't a scheme fit even though he's talented. If we can finish next year feeling like we're just one or two pieces away on offense then I feel very good about this team competing for a super bowl.
