I hate to be the only downer here but...
24th ranked passing defense...
If you mean they are not getting enough credit for no longer being the worst pass defense in the league, than yes, but for now all they have managed to do is go from horrendous to awful. Also let's not forget that over the last 3 weeks they have played one team missing the greatest receiver currently in the game, and 2 pass offenses that were average and bad. So they have looked good lately. Unfortunately with our competition as late, frankly we should be middle of the pack in pass defense as far as I am concerned not bottom of the pack.
The problem that I see is we play too soft (and I don't mean that we are weak or anything like that) I mean we play too much soft zone coverage and even average QB's are able to find wide open receivers. If Brandon Weeden was not such a horrible passer, he would have had 300+ yards against us.
All of that being said, I do absolutely agree that we are seeing improvement across the board and agree with most everyone's assessment about our DB's at this point, I just think we should not be too quick to start handing praise to a group that at this point is still much, much worse than average.
