Yep. This defense is getting its ass handed to them in the first qtr, long before its reasonable to lay blame on the offense.
I do believe the overall D talent is better than what we are seeing, but at the same time I don't see a lot great individual performances. Outside of DJ a few games, and Houston once, our defensive stars aren't shining very bright. The overall scheme may be responsible for the end result, but I don't see guys winning their individual battles very often.
It may be time to start considering the idea that the talent level on this defense isn't quite what we thought.
