Has the Defense gotten better?

I disagree that the deep plays are from more blitzing, they are from lack of pressure whether from the front or the blitz.

Some bad safety play also, Harrison had two bad plays yesterday that were big, first the TD and then the long pass with him and Reeves. Busted coverages by both S and LB's, and horrid gameplans, such as Greenwood matched up with a reciever havent helped. Wilson has made the secondary alot better and with the return of DRob we have 3 guys that could start for many teams, but probably woulndt be their premier CB.

Are you honestly saying that when you blitz more you don't in turn give up more big plays?

Not at all, that is always a gamble you take when you blitz. I am saying that the front 4 isnt getting presure consistently, and neither are most of our blitzes.

Most of those long plays are busted assignments rather than bringing more defenders.
