We came into the year expecting defensive excellence. I think it's clear we ain't gonna get that.

The question I have is can we at least be sound and solid?

Sound and solid means you get 3-4 key stops playing top offenses. With our offense, we'd have a distinct edge in big games.

But we haven't played sound and solid, really, since the AZ game … against a horrible offense.

Can we at least get to where we play with discipline and containment and make offense work to score? 'Cause I ain't seeing that right now.
