Pass rush is MIA. What has Brooks Reed done since his rookie year? He's playing for his job this year as far as I'm concerned. Maybe he already has one eye looking towards ILB as his next position because he's trash on the outside.
Again, I'm surprised so many people are "surprised". They've been doing the same inconsistent things all season... and the second half of last season. They have the talent to play better, but right now I think they're being schemed against as if the offense knows exactly where to attack.
It seems like we're phoning in the defense. Good thing we're not at home doing this - the crowd would be ugly.
It's hard to blitz when you've got a nickel package out there, because that means McCain is even more on his own. That also leaves Reed with having to cover a WR. yikes
