Remember all those years where we had guys with samples like Wilhite,Meriweather and Earthwind Moreland roaming our secondary and the rankings almost yearly in the mid to lower 20's because they were not very good?
Well I just checked the stats on this year's team and even though KC ran all over our team I think it was more of the defense having a short field to defend because of INTs and mistakes and also them being on the field much longer than they should be - the defense against the pass is very solid and the stats show it...
Here are the Pats stats through week 4 on the 2014 NFL Season...
4th best in NFL in total yards allowed - 442
1st in a 3 way tie with allowing just 1 Receiving TD - (in a tie with Cleveland and Seattle)
Ranked #2 in the NFL in number of receptions allowed - 34
Perhaps YPC against is the weakest area this pass defense has to work on as it stands at 13.00 but overall the offense failing to score points and protection on the line and the rushing defense are the main things to get going on the right track for this team to remain in contention for the division title and beyond.
We finally have a respectable pass defense since Ty Law left - at least one area is doing well in a shaky 1st 1/4 of play.
