Yes. It makes no sense to think that an average D is good enough to stop Brady with the game on the line.

You don't need a defense to completely shut down Brady. You need a defense that can stop him 2-4 times a game and allow your offense to get and hold the lead.

A better defense gets another stop or two at some point in the game which makes it irrelevant whether they would’ve been able to on the last series.

Just build a good defense. Not one that we hope is just good enough, just a fucking good solid d

That’s obviously the goal, but it’s going to be difficult to make it “good” in his first year.

Maybe it will be by playoff time though.

All I can say is thank fucking god Sutton’s package defense is gone.

2 DL, Houston, Ford and only Hitchens with a “money backer”.

And people wonder why we got ran on?!

If Ford lines back 5 inches, we win the game only allowing 24 points and forcing Brady into 3 interceptions.

That's the difference of a player just lining up 5 inches back. Just that small one change. But yet you think if a major change like the defense going from 31st to 16th wouldn't make a difference in performance?

If it’s taking this long then the front office needs some changes

So you expect a good defense week 1?

Sorry, but you’re likely to be disappointed if these are your expectations.

An average defense in year one for this defense would be a fucking win.

Why not?

They’ve got the draft and the whole offseason

In theory but these games all come down to the end and an average D isn't going to be good enough to stop a guy like Brady at the end of the big game. I guess you have to define average too. Average at what? Yards, points, red zone.

People don't realize how historically bad our defense was.

If they’re even average week 1 that’s a huge improvement.

Like I said, yea they should be good come playoff time, but I don’t expect it right away.

It's a game of inches. Good Ds control the inches when it counts the most. Rankings? 16h ranked? I think I'd set my bar higher in an attempt to win it all.
