How many posts do you need to see where someone says fire everyone but HIM? He gets a great deal of credit for being a fantastic DC and making the best defense we’ve had in 10+ years. We see a couple of comments that shit on him since we don’t have a top 5 defense but those people must not remember how many times we went up by 3 just to lose to a last minute drive with Matt Ryan at QB. He gets a very appropriate amount of credit for being a very good DC on a dog shit team.
15th in total defense.
17th in scoring defense.
8th in passing defense.
25th in rush defense.
13th in redzone defense.
19th on 3rd downs.
We are 3rd in sacks and that’s awesome. But our defense is rather pedestrian. Some of it that is due to the offense and to the injuries to personnel. But also, the defense hasn’t been as good as everyone claims. I’m not trying to be a negative Nancy. But perspective is fair here. Falcons have had one of the worst defenses in the league for a while as a whole. So I feel like there’s a touch of comparison coloring things here. Haha. Just ain’t been all great. Improvement? Yes… But I’m just more cautious with the praise.
