Good article on Kenny Moore III
From IndyStar here.
Too small. Not experienced enough. Not high enough level of competition. Afterthough. I love finding guys like Mathis and Bethea and Saturday that no one thinks should excel.....but do. PFF is rating him at a 72.7 which means he is rated as an "above average NFL starter" which is pretty nice for a 2nd year UDFA. Moore, Desir, Hooker, Geathers, Hairston. That is not a terrible secondary to grow together. No CBs that strike fear into opposing QBs or Offensive Coordinators but not a bad young group. Walk Worthy, |
Two games in, our defense has been the biggest surprise of the season so far. If we consider the low expectations of your Defense they played a good game against Cincy and a stellar game against Washington.
Still early, sure, but it seems like Eberflus was an odd and back handed gift from Josh McFuckface. |
I'm going to temper expectations until we face some of the better QB's in the league, but it has been promising. I think unexpected pressure from the d-line from guys like Hunt really helps those young guys in the secondary as well.

But as I said, right now Washington only provides a little hope. I still expect the D to be at the bottom in most measurements. I don’t yet believe in the pass rush or our ability to cover outside. And Cincy’s ability to run on them gives me concern as well. Hopefully Hooker begins to show up as the season progresses. He’s been nearly non existent. But 2 games in from a major injury and being so inexperienced I don’t think it’s completely unexpected. |

At the end, our defense got the offense the ball at the end of the 4th with a chance to win before the doyle fumble. Considering such a low level of expectations, they were potentially only 1 or 2 mistakes away from getting us a win. I don't think that is bottom 5 against the bengals.

They exceeded expectations in my book. 2 sacks, 1 pick, 2 FFs, 1 FR, and they never let the game get away from us. If the red zone interception was a field goal, if, if, if, if... |

Spoiler: the defense is going to be up and down all year. I'll enjoy the ups and contextualize the downs for what they are.
