Our main reasons for "failing on defense when it really counts" was really because of our banged up inexperienced secondary. Matt Elam was a bust, we had guys off the street playing safety beside him, and Jimmy was out as well as Webb. Almost any team would have success passing, it's a miracle we made it to the playoffs last season with the D secondary we had. There were plenty times where we blitz heavily just to have our secondary leave guys wide open in coverage. You have to have guys capable in the secondary to cover well if you want to blitz freely. That's what we had back in the Rex ryan days. Defense full of playmakers.
