It's not the defense, coach, or QB......

It's all of those things! Good teams win the close ones. We're good enough to drag other teams into a fight, but not good enough to win the fight. IMO, it's as simple as that. I'm not impressed with our secondary, to me, it seems like they're always a step behind. Defensive line, unimpressive, IMO. Offensive line, dramatically improved in run blocking yet not so good at pass blocking. Receivers, average with Baldwin hurting. Running game, pretty good actually. QB play, meh, Russ has regressed yet still showing flashes. I still dont believe him and Schotty have gelled. In other words, to me, all this adds up to not quite good enough right now.

Tre Flowers has been a stud. Super impressed with his development. Shaq well he seems to be just okay.

Pass rush, where did you go!!! We need a speed rusher.
