The irony. Our offense was supposed to be absolutely unstoppable. Defense was our big question mark and right now it’s totally flipped.
So they say defense wins championships. Is ours good enough to pull that off?

Needed them to step up and they did. That's encouraging, I was concerned about the DT position this year.

The run D is becoming borderline elite.
The Pass D however is just lost on too many plays. Especially when we try to go zone, so much confusion and missed assignments leading to wide open receivers.

It's interesting these two posts are ~30 minutes apart
The defense is a borderline elite unit overall. If the pass rush element ever shows up, it will be elite at that point.

Still, it's hard to ignore the zone coverage gaffs. It hasn't totally cost us yet but the communication needs to be a lot better there

Zone isn't meant to stand on its own. The pass rush element needs to show up to make the zone work the way it should, either by bringing an extra body (which happened against Indiana) or by the front 3 or 4 getting pressure on their own.
The zone itself is (mostly) fine but no zone ever conceived will stand up when the QB has 5 or 6 or 7 seconds to see the field.
that's not to say there isn't room for improvement though.
