Defense played SOFT

[dalemurphy]

We made some video of the poor coverage and dissected it. Here are seven plays that I think represent the problems with pass defense right now:

Thanks DM, I now feel much better informed about our defense, adjustments they started making, and have some hope for our defense going forward this year.

I think the parts are in place for this to be a good (not great) defense and some things have been stumbled upon. However, they have to create an identity and turn these individual plays into part of a larger game plan... It's not that easy, but I am encouraged and hopeful

Quote from the main board:

"Remember last season when the Texans defense was horrible the first three weeks of the season and then they turned it around? Going into Week 5 Sunday against the Chiefs, the Texans are still looking for a similar reversal."

If the D turns it around this year after some horrible performances, it will be more of a miracle than last year, in my opinion.

This year the offensive line has regressed also, especially in it's pass blocking. The run blocking looked pretty good while Foster was doing his thing, but against the Giants, they couldn't do anything right. Poor gap responsibility, poor technique, poor blitz pickup, you name it.
