I agree that our defense just isn't at the level that it was in 98 and 03. I mean our pass defense is definitely lacking. The run defense has been solid, but I feel like teams have really been able to pick on our secondary when they have wanted to.
Today I saw a young quarterback that made our secondary look just "ok". Barnett often looked like he already decided who he was going to throw to before the snap. He became easy to read and our average secondary shut him down. With the exception of Ty Zimmerman I don't feel like our secondary is that good. Sure, Nigel Malone will make a big pick here and there and is no doubt our best CornerBack, but have you seen the other corners. Holy crap it is God awful. Chapman consistently gets burnt on the other side and allows big plays. I saw we had someone else in Chapman's spot today, but didn't catch who it was. I'm not sure how he looked either because I was not at the game. I'm scared for this team. I could see some exploits in the future.
