To say Philadelphia Liberty defense is struggling is an understatement. Last year's defensive squad gave up a little over 18 points a game which was second best in the league. This years squad is dead last at 30 points per game. The offense isnt helping much with a measly 16 points per a game.
The team had improving each year over the last few season and took a giant step backwards this season.
It's still early in the year to turn things around but they need to improve immediately if they hope to make the playoffs.
Their 8 sacks is putting a lot of pressure on the defensive backs to make plays. They have a league low 12 PD which isnt helping either. The defense is has been on the field too much, they cannot generate pressure and the Defense Backs are getting too tired.
A huge reason the defense is struggling is the lack of run game. With a league low in attempts and yards, Philadelphia needs to find a way to get there two solid RBs to generate more yards to give the defense a break. If the run game doesn't improve, it will be a long year for the defense.
Week 5 is a make or break game for this year. Can they turn there season around or are they going to be looking to next season?
