Outstanding. This is just unbelievable considering the injuries, age and some underwhelming performances by several players. As well as tackling issues. To be ranked as well as they are, is a testament to the coaching job being done by Anthony Weaver. Congratulations!!!

Its amazing how well Weaver has got this defense to play especially considering the missed tackles, some underperforming and older players we have. Imagine how good this defense can be with an infusion of some more talented youth.

Weaver has done really well in some ways and really poorly in others. Talent aside, I'd like to see him control the things he can control right now. Even though you shouldn't have to tell/teach professional football players how to tackle, it turns out that you do. Weaver is absolutely to blame for the poor tackling this season. I also see way too much confusion from our back 7 at times. That shouldn't really be happening at this point in the season. I would also love to see some man coverage. From what I can tell, Weaver doesn't seem to know that man coverage exists. Nothing but soft ass zone coverage all the time.

If he can correct these flaws, then maybe we have something with him.
 
I think some of these stats are because when tua was out teams played very conservative against us.

Not saying weaver isn’t good coach.

But does this d really look like it’s the 6 best in nfl?

Weaver done a fine job. It’s hard to win when we don’t have much pass rush. Like I said I will judge him next year when we have done edge rushers.

His d was awful against cards and bills.
I just don’t see a number 6 defense.

Again not on him we don’t have much talent or youth now.

I remember 1990 Miami had some top statistical defenses. But we all knew they were not good.

Again wait and see. On weaver. Let’s see how he does if we give him another edge
A real safety. Another d lineman that. Can really play.

I believe I read somewhere last week that we’ve faced the second easiest schedule in the NFL. That has some influence on these numbers, too.

I knew I liked weaver
 
Hasn’t been great, a lot of let downs in critical situations but not going to fault Weaver.

We were in cap hell with both our starting edge rushers hurt. We nickel and dimes guys that might fit his system. With a better cap situation and another year I expect the defense to take the next step next year.

I wouldn’t read too much into the stats. Weaver has done a good job, but this defense isn’t as good as it would need to be for us to win in the playoffs.

not his fault and has no context, first year coach without his two starting edge players, one damn linebacker of note and terrible safety play
