We were 9th in the league in passing defense yards allowed, 10th in passing average yards per play allowed, 4th in fewest first downs allowed, and 4th in interceptions. Looks to me like opposing QB's are struggling with those 45 seconds.

I never said we were struggling. I literally said our secondary was good. I said our pass rush is slow. What you get when you combine a good secondary, slow pass rush, and weak schedule of opposing offenses is the sort of rankings you list. What we we are talking about is how we might improve our passing defense. My argument is that when you have a chain that has a very strong link and a very weak link, you do not make the whole chain stronger by ignoring the weak link and trying to reinforce the strong link. ****ty opposing QBs had 45 seconds to find ****ty opposing receivers open against very good secondary because they were not afraid of slow pass rushers. The secondary is not what you upgrade to improve on that.

With our 8 losses and having missed the “PLAYOFFS?!?!?” (again)… opposing QB’s AINT struggling with those 45 seconds.
