Hard to remember a pass rush this bad

Zak would get the snap, look around, send his uniform out for dry cleaning, get it back, then decide who he wanted to throw to. It's early. They defensive line could get better. But right now it looks historically bad.

Anyone see any glimmers of hope?

It�s way too early.

But you know, this is BBI

On the plus side

We didn't provide Buffalo any good pass rush tape to study. Got em right where we want em.

Did we even have a single QB "hurry."

Forget sacks, I can't recall a single pressure.

Bettcher tried by sending blitzes

And our secondary got torched; which is the risk you take when you rely on blitz-rushing

I'd agree that the pass rush was very bad if there was a pass rush.

This defense has very little

Yes, but a big part of that is because the blitzes never got to the QB.

What's amazing is even when Betcher sent the house

Dallas picked up every last one and then Dak torched us. Did any blitzes get home today? But here is how bad the last 5 or so years have been, we've had worse pass rushers. It wasn't long ago that we had a FullBack playing DT. At least back then we had a competent offense.

I feel like this defense is more talented than

the one we put up in TC's last year in the season opener against dallas that year.. Demontre Moore was our best player on defense that game and I don't just mean in terms of a single games but overall talent wise...
