In the end, our offense will be good enough to win games. The defense just can’t roll over and die like they did last year – if they can pick Glennon/Wilson 4 times, that’s a HUGE step forward, as they won’t face QB’s of that caliber every single week…

and we don’t know under what situations these picks, sacks and TFLs occurred, it’s tough to read much into the numbers. If there was a lot of time spent in the “down seven with a minute to go” situation, I could see that leading to a lot more pressing by the QBs (throws into tight spaces) and sacks (QB holding the ball too long looking to make a play deep downfield).

We’ll know more after the final scrimmage, which should be structured more like an actual game than this situational one.
