Hurt doesn't take one out of the equation of playing worse. So yes Joseph. You can say any LB CLE has had on the field in passing situations.cool
so who has played worse?
please dont say Joseph hes been playing hurt most the year
TBF the secondary could really use the help of a more competitive DE tag team partner for MG
lets not forget last year we were top 10 vs the pass
thats including the loss of MG
that was the 1st year since 2014 we were top ten vs the pass
as it stands today only the falcons and seahawks are worse than us vs the pass
I'd fully agree the secondary sure could use some pass rush. Cause if miles ain't getting to the QB no one really is.
What the CLE D was last year doesn't mean anything this year. You have a new DC, new safeties, and a new LB group. Sure last year's team was in the top 10 for passing yards allowed. They were also 30th in rush yards allowed. They were 28th in the number of rushing attempts per game against them. Most of their games they were down by double digits in the 3rd quarter. Which is why they were 30th in pass attempts against them. Teams were not passing all over them for 4 quarters. By mid 3rd quarter most weeks the opposing team was already able to go in to ball control mode and just run the ball/clock. So yeah, they didn't give up a lot of passing yards last year because teams got all they need to win after 2 1/2 quarters.
They were generally an overall bad defense last year. This year they still look like a generally overall bad defense. The difference this year is they have been able to defend the run. But in the passing game it's the same weakness of up the middle.
