Mailbag: Too Much Blame On The Defense? Failure To Replace Murray?

RICK BITTY
OHIO
Am I the only one that thinks this defense improved from last year, despite the team's 2-7 record? In the Eagles game, our offense was not the greatest, leaving the D out there, which played right into the hands of Chip Kelly. The defense kept us in games when the offense barely could. Am I the only one thinking the defense improved despite low turnovers, given the circumstances?

Bryan: Rick – I totally agree with you. This offense has left this defense in some terrible spots in games. Other than the Atlanta game, they never could get a double-digit lead, and if they had then maybe this defense wouldn’t have had to make stops at the end of the games when they had been doing the majority of the day.
