I'm thinking that the incompetent offense is wearing the defense out ... maybe.

it does and there's no doubt this team is getting run up late in games. but the problem right now for this defense is with the opening series. They are getting run over at the RDE position. Now, some of this has to do with Dorsey, because teams are running at him early on. Watch what SD does with Mathews. He'll hit the defense's right edge. Now, here's the thing about that edge of this defense - Hali is primarily in pass rush duty and DJ is the man behind Dorsey to maintain that edge. He's not getting it done and it's for the same old reasons - unable to get off blocks and caught out of position. So, we see big gainers there at any point in the game.
But you're right to some degree - you can't expect such a young and depleted defense to play 40 mins every game and expect to win without scoring points. It limits what kind of defense Crennell can use.
