The defense definitely can't carry the team like before. Secondary has one great star (maybe two with JEAN-BAPTISTE)...
David is awesome.
Crick doesn't seem to be himself after his concusion thing.
So that leaves us with a mediocre line,
average LBs
and overall less than average secondary.
Compared to the Suh years, that's a huge difference.
I have less "certainty" that the defense is set to bloom, like the offense is.
With exception to me still not being sure about Martinez -- I want to see him have a complete game -- the young WRs and Iback situation, and maybe even line seems good. But on defense, IDK, I don't know what to look forward to there.
I really have a lot of faith in Bo, and I think I get his frustration pretty well. His and Carl's. Maybe Carl has ben trying to do too much, but, I definitely don't see the defense executing the way it has in the past, and that's a problem. IDK how much of it is coachs vs the players, because I know what the Pelini's can do.
Speaking of Suh, I felt so bad when he was being honored at halftime or whenever it was, and he had to smile even though the crowd was totally not into the game at the time.
