Depends on what single metrics you used to evaluate the defense. Hell, statistically, I can make Dallas’ defense “appear” to be better than what it actually is. But..., the eye test never fails my friend. Ppl pay to much attention to quantitative analyses these days, myself included, lol. But the eye test? It just doesn’t fail.

A bad pass defense is a bad pass defense. Allowing more passing TD’s than any other team in the league just isn’t championship level football. Play has been bad also. I’ve seen more defensive backs late to their assignments than I’ve ever seen before. That’s not coaching, those are just missed assignments. I’m not overly fond of Dennis Allen and regardless of who to blame, ultimately it’s either his scheme failure or his leadership failure that has allowed the defense to be rock bottom in passing TD’s allowed.

If you can't defend your position I understand...

Swapping the d-coordinator mid season is troublesome, since the defense isn't bottom of the league.

Maybe a new secondary coach could be a wake-up call even if Glenn's not the reason for the bad secondary performance.

It’s both , does anyone see this defense can completely turn this around into a super bowl de. I really was giving them to the midpoint to (get it ) it’s looking grim

The offense is slowly getting better each week. However, the defense gets worse each week....I will admit that Davenport helped the front seven but the back end still needs help desperately.

Doom and gloom.

I don't get it. Y'all are acting as if the defense is horrible. They got beat early with tons of penalties. Those are getting under control recently. They are not getting shredded by opposing offenses. They have one of the very best run defenses in the league. Of course teams are going to have to turn to the pass and they'll get a big play here or there. In case y'all haven't been paying attention big pass plays are the norm across the whole league this season.

It sucked then, we were 26th in passing ans without Sharper's 9 interceptions we would have been much worse. He deserves as much credit for the success of that season as Drew

No player has more INTs since 2007.
