Pass defense has me worried...

I believe we are +1 on the season. But considering how we started out, I believe we are way up in the plus range over the last 5 games.

I would point out that Williams made adjustments at half time that shut don the Eagles in the second half. He also played more zone with nickel D in giving 3 safeties over the top and that helped get the INT's. We played a lot of man to man in the first half that got exposed by our not getting to the QB when we blitzed. 2nd half and we got more pressure as they had to spend more time in the pocket.

What worries me more than the injuries is Williams blitzing too much early against the Buccs. To me, our priority is to stop the run and force the game into Simms' hands. He's proven when it's all on him then he can be shaky. Once he can't see his WR's open then we'll see him getting sacked and intercepted. Trying to sack him early and exposing the secondary won't work, as the Buccs will have seen what the Eagles did this week.
