To Wade's credit, the defense has been noticably better in the second halves of both games. Had Schaub not single-handedly given the Titans 10 points, there would not have been all the need for the late-game theatrics.
I agree about our pass rush. Brooks Reed is a great edge guy but hasn't sniffed the QB that I can recall. Cushing and Smith are our best rushers after Watt. It is a problem when the 34 OLBs do not crack the top 3 pass rushers for a team. Especially a team that plays as much man as we do.
