What are some reasons that our D could turn it around? Sell it

I'll go - Crawley improves, PJ covers well in slot like last year and Lattimore is lights out with Marcus Williams. Davenport becomes a formidable rusher and Okafor/Cam continue to get closer to form (Solid player/Beast player). LB's Davis, Klein and others continue to mesh and improve. D finishes the year top 15 in actual play with pash rush making a big impact in 2nd half of season with Davenport.

D line is getting some pressure. We've been good against the run.

Saints Call up Delvin breaux

More reps. Calm down some, get some confidence coming out of these wins. I bet no one on this board thought Ryan wouldn't get into FG range. That's the kind of thing you can take with you and gain confidence. Davenport gets better, starts to bring real pressure more often which shortens the window for Crawley and Williams to have to cover their men? I dunno, feels like it could happen.

IF Craig Robertson could get more snaps that'd be nice.
need to get more push from the inside in rushing the passer. Rankins looked better today I thought .
i'm rooting for the guy as much as the next fan but he's been out of position on a few big chunk plays for the other team this year. I don't know if it's all his fault but usually if the free safety lets someone get behind him than that's on him. Also well noted that if he doesn't make that interception off Tyrod last week than we have well lost the game.

Replace Williams or Crawley with a CB that can cover WRs.

We need more pressure from the D-line!

Our D is unique. They let receivers run wild for 3 quarters while the offense keeps up. Then in the 4th, while the opposing receivers are gassed from all the running up and down the field, the offense leads us to another victory.
It’s genius.

I think that says it all right there.
we got shell shocked at the end of last year and then I don't think anyone could have predicted the Bucs offense to be a machine coming out of the gate in Week 1 and into Week 2 as well...

Hit Ryan 6x today, 3 sacks, & they averaged 2.2 ypc

Uhhh..we find some free agent player off the street like Vince Papale.

This. If we continue to force teams to be one dimensional it will pay off. Also, Crawley can’t play much worse so he can only improve going forward.
The play of Klein and Davis is encouraging. They were decent in coverage and very active in run defense. Throw a healthy Teo in there and I think we have the makings of a top 10 Run D.

more pressure
better 2nd corner play
better safety play to help 2nd corner. pj was isoloated 1v1 ll day
coleman needs to be benched. havent heard his name all season
craig roberton needs to be on the field.

Coleman has been fine.
I also think Allen made a mistake shading Marcus Williams to Julio’s side when Lattimore was covering him. That’s not something we did a lot of last year. We usually gave the help to Crawley

I like these numbers.
D-Line played good & LB's played good enough. Just need to stop giving up huge plays in the passing game. Also, we suck arse on 3rd down.
Same problems as last year before we finally got our shite together. 3rd down was easily our biggest problem on defense last year. We did stop giving up huge plays in the passing game though (starting game 3...Panthers).

Secondary gets simplified instructions.

Lot of good points in here. I'll add that:
-everyone thought it was the same old shite after 2 weeks last season and we turned it around
-Okafor is still coming off a major injury and Davenport is raw, but they're still playing well. They'll get better.
-something that could make us better overall than last season: Onyemata is much more of a threat to pressure the QB than Davison. With our success against the run, hopefully Allen sees that and keeps him on the field more once Davison returns.
-Davis has improved significantly since the preseason. He's playing a "new" position on a new defense, so he might improve more.

Falcons didn’t have their best RB that usually shreds us so take the run defense success with a grain of salt
