offense/defense

the defense looks to actually be coming around. the tag team LB play seemed to bring improvement. still plenty weak but just not as glaringly so. i was scared to see craft torched embarrassingly again but he seemed to do much better. still will be glad for fakhir back. the pass rush improvement is very exciting and could be fun to watch.

the offense though doesn't seem to be pulling through on the opportunities the D is giving. many have commented and i concur that the deuce up the middle and falling over thing definitely looks weak. i was glad to see he did make some progress when they started going outside the tackles last week. i'm hoping for him but concerned. that was a great brooks didn't-shoot-himself-in-the-foot game last week. but i dunno if i can ever rememeber 2 of those in a row. again, hoping but have to see it to believe it after 4 seasons of it. the lack of scoring is particuliarly alarming. 5 TDs in the last 6 games counting the last 2 preseason ones. carney's missed short range FG's have not cost a game yet but at the current rate they will eventually.

what's your take or score on each side of the ball?
