This has been a rough pre-season and while the bar isn't set too high there really is very noticeable improvement on the defense.
They're inconsistent but I really do expect this unit to gel as the season goes on. When the secondary is healthy I think they are going to be above average and in the coming seasons look out.
We're playing the run better as well. There is still work to be done there but it is an improvement.
The biggest concern is the lack of a decent pass rush. We're giving the QB way too much time and it's not going to matter how good the secondary is someone is going to get open.
Obviously Allen is going to need to get creative and find someway to get to the passer.
The turnover problem in the pre-season has made the defense look worse than it is. I'm convinced we've got a good core of players and will bounce back on defense finally.
