It took along time before we started to see any improvement. It took way to long.
I am not sure what kind of great "in-game adjustments" we saw last year. I guess when you are down 45-14 at half time (Eagles MNF debacle) and only give up 14 in the second half, you consider that a great adjustment? Ha! I say the eagles took their foot off the accelerator on the way to us giving up 59 points. The 31-7 loss to Giants in week 13 (late in the season) was not much better.
But go on and believe our defense was not that bad.

The defense held opponents to under 20 points in 5 of the last 7 games. Including the Giants in Week 17 during a must win contest for New York. Not to mention holding the Super Bowl Champs to 13 points earlier in the year. There is hope for the defense to do much better this time around. Especially now that we have a D-Line to protect our ILB's as well as a complimentary rusher to Orakpo, and a FS that can cover deep.
