Of course not, but I expected our defense to be at least marginally better than the historically bad defense of last year. And to this point it has not been, in fact it's been arguably worse. And again, I did not think that possible.

That is disappointing. I'm still a believer in WW and he was appropriately pissed about the defense as we were. But we keep hearing the tough talk with little or no improvement in the areas being emphasized. And with the schedule coming up it will be tough to tell if we really are improving as the competition is not really good enough to provide a real barometer.

Is it unreasonable to expect to see at least small signs of progress on defense? I don't think so.

My instinct is that eventually we'll start to see this, but to this point IMHO we have not and I don't think it being a bad fan to say so.
