My biggest concern is the defense. Sure we hold them back in the second half until the last drive and obviously the pick 6 is on the offense.

But the inability to get off the field on 3rd down, stopping the run has been a problem and getting minimal pressure.

My problem is Elijah Robinsons and Frans inability to adjust after 3 games and a bye week now. Like that is a major red flag and you can’t blame that on being a first year head coach. They both have been coaching defense for over a decade they should be able to adjust after 3 games and a bye week. Yet our defense still gets no pressure. For WHATEVER reason Robinson almost always only rushes 3-4 guys with no pressure. There were a couple times last night that were straight up embarrassing when dline were all trying to make moves and ended up all just running into each other…all 3 or 4 of our guys literally ran into each other. That should never happen. So we only rush 3-4 guys so our 7 to 8 guys in coverage should be able to prevent a completed pass which they did a few times but then on a couple big plays they let up a first down or for instance the last drive we let their best player catch a pass ONE ON ONE when we dropped 8 guys in coverage. That’s just horrendous coaching. If Elijah keeps the play calling and no adjustments up like this for another few games, I’d say by game 6 or 7 then that’s criminal and I’d seen enough to know he’s not ready to be a DC at this level yet. Really disappointed in him so far and had high expectations
