The stats look better than reality.I don't know this week. Seemed like the defense shut down the passing game all game. Pitts and London only totalled 80 yards, Mariota completed two second half passes.
On a defense missing three starting defensive linemen and the signal calling middle linebacker, they couldn't stop the run and scored below league average on offense.
Feels like a talent deficit at the wrong few positions defensively combined with a bad offensive day... and I couldn't be happier I didn't watch.
We didn't do anything creative up front.
We blitzed JOK once. It blew Atlanta up on third down and got us the ball. We never did it again.
The biggest adjustment we made was dropping Delpit into the box.
I was wholly disappointed with the defensive side.
