I think the last few weeks have been better
Though im stuck without gamepass at the moment so just watching highlights and redzone. But they look to be getting caught far more in zone than man 2 man?

What are peoples thoughts on Coleman and Bell
I actually think we are missing Kenny, the guy was far from perfect but could do a bit of everything when fit. Looks to me one of the areas that needs looking at next offseason alongside a capable pass catching TE for the long term

Kind of hard for me only because of Dennis Allen's game strategy. IIRC we rushed 2 guys & kept 6 back in zone, leaving Bell (not a true deep safety) to cover half a field by himself. I've never seen a team drop two defensive tackles drop in coverage to cover no one. Some of the defensive play calling is puzzling to me.

Trust me, I'm elated with the wins despite the defense falling apart at the end of close games. Eventually the odds will catch up with us unless it's fixed.

Side note - so far Coleman is looking like money wasted, however I'm hopeful he turns a corner.

And he will make a teeth shattering hit on somebody

Dan Arnold is our TE of the future.
