We should just name this thread the same old Pat's defense,non aggressive and dull to make some people happy.
According to some are defense was ok last year. 8th against the run and 25th against the pass. I guess thats ok with some fans as long as they weren't giving up points. But really? Maybe the reason why we were 8th against the run is because everyone knew they could sling it all over the field on our team. People weren't running the ball on 3rd down because they knew they could just throw for it successfully. That awesome 3rd down defense was amazing last year. But hey we had a strong red zone defense which only gave up field goals after being gassed all over the field again.
I'm just as reasonable and cautious as the next fan when it comes to weighing preseason success but some people on this board are in some serious denial if they can't be excited by what's going on with the defense..
