Yeah we got it. You’re the only guy left. Our defense is probably good we’re all just missing it. Or no, they were good. 13 seconds, the other playoff losses they were really good the whole time. I feel ya. Don’t trust what we are seeing somehow they are good still 

They're average, not good.

 

But average =/= terrible.

I mean this is a great question.  Not really sure how the D improves.  Really poor personnel acquisition on the DL/LBs by Bean.   Perhaps some disguised/delayed blitzes with different guys coming from different spots.  Bishop has been in great position this season, so that frees up the ability to blitz more.  

The defense is what it is…

 

Only thing to do is disguise the looks, move people around, bring 5 up to the line, shifts etc… but we can only hope this defense gels a little more and execute on a higher level as we go

 

I brought up LB prior to the trade deadline and got bashed.

 Shaq Thompson should be back to help! I don't get how this crew can be so bad against the run?

No. Trust what you were seeing. They were good. That is what you saw. They are bad now. That is also what you are seeing.

Bernard and Milano will get most of snaps.  Last week Bernard played 100%of snaps.  I don't think McD will share Bernard's snaps with Shaq
