# 1 Defense

[Smithers]

Some people take threads, and probably life in general, way too seriously.  

Smile guys....we won.  To top it off, the Ms. America pagent is on (forget Dallas and NY) !

As many missed tackles and coverages they had today, I would say they looked awful. It was brutal. 

they threw for 183 yards

[Mol3m4n]

they threw for 183 yards

That means that Harper was great in coverage?

[PandaPancake]

Doesn't matter when the front 7 completely shuts down the run game, gives the QB no time to throw, Luke/TD are roaming in the middle and Norman has the #1 WR locked down. 

Get Kuechly/Star healthy and they can stick a Huddler at FS.

Tre Boston > Kurt Coleman.

Dean Marlowe > Roman Harper

Yes, I'm saying that even with Star and Kuechly, we have major holes at safety and defensive end. We are top 15. Maybe even to ten, but we are not an elite defense from what I saw today. 

What you saw today was 5 sacks, 2 turnovers, 9 points allowed, and 6 points scored. Sure its vs the Jags but it would be hard to ask for anything much better from any team. Especially with their leader and best defensive player missing the second half. Also the only TD they scored was right after luke went down and the defense was a little lost right after that. If you dont think having our best D-lineman and best MLB in the NFL back is gonna make a difference you are surely mistaken.

I didn't say it wouldn't make a difference, I'm saying that we're still not elite. 

[R0CKnR0LLA]

we just need to find a way to play the jaguars every week

[csx]

That means that Harper was great in coverage?

it mean they attempted 40 passes for 183 yards. 5th worst completion pct of the day. Thats not brutal.

I guess. I know what I saw out of Bortles and our Safeties though. 

[Daddy_Uncle]

our defense usually plays its best the second half of the season. I think with all the pieces we have the more games we play, the more they will gel and eliminate stupid mistakes

and you are still mistaken. 

[Mol3m4n]

and you are still mistaken. 

lol. So we're a top 5 defense? 

[Jangler]

Can we wait until at least week 3, ya know for an average.
