I'm not sure what some of you saw from the run D that makes you think they're improved, because Fournette (who may be the most overrated RB in football) had 13 rushes for 66 yards and averaged 5.1 ypc. The only reason he didn't have alot more is because they had to play catch up and their rookie QB did his best Alex Smith impression and completed 22 of 25 for 2 TDs. From what I was able to watch our pass rush looked like it wanted to replicate last year's AFCCG. Luckily one of the only times the D got to the QB they knocked the starter out of the game or else they would have allowed a lot more points.

I saw a team that won comfortably. I'm responding to a guy that thought a Shady McCoy lotto ticket was too much of a gamble.

Fournette the most overrated RB in football?! I thought that was McCoy! It's so hard to keep up with your histrionics.

Winning on the road in the NFL is hard.

Every ****ing fan base would take a 14-point win and not complain.

I agree pete, solid C+, a sack away from a B-.

You guys need to come to grips with this. The defense is not going to be good. It's like watching you guys convince yourselves Matt Cassel doesn't REALLY suck.

Pretty much.

The way I see it is the offensive power of this team outweighs its subpar defense and they will win a lot more games then they lose. Of course come playoff time things get a little dicier.

If i was to put a silly but honest raking on both units on where I think they will be at the end of the season Id say.

offense # 1
defense # 20-24 but thats a lot better than #31

Lack of pass rush, no pressure on Qb.
Allowing back up to Qb carve it up
Didn't do too bad against the run.

C-
not good enough come playoff time.

The ONLY improvement I saw was the tackling and run defense until about the 3rd quarter.

Pass rush blew
Thornhill rookie
Ward slow as molasses
Honey Badger more like an Ostrich or Prairie Dog today
A 1970's porn star QB who no one ever heard of outside a few bars in Jacksonville made our defense look pathetic.

F. They made some shit backup look like a stud. If Minshew actually ends up being a great QB then this grade can be changed but for now I'm not giving them any credit for this game. You shouldn't let some team's backup tear your ass up like that.

Yeah if this is our defense all year, we aren’t making it to Miami.

40 - 26 win, that’s a good enough debut

37-13 middle of the 4th. :shrug:

They're better than last year. Especially tackling.

Which is all we need.

Moderately better, knowing they should improve as they adjust to the new scheme they did alright but not as good as I "hoped".

Definitely more bright spots but some of the same frustrations if that makes sense.

I'm just hoping it's growing pains and not the sign of things to come.

And against the run.
