It's been true for most of Martz's reign of mediocrity. The year he took over the defense was still good, the spirit of Vermiel carried them a year, but since then their defense has been a joke and their special teams have made their defense look good.
And he really doesn't coach the offense well either, there's just enough talent on that side of the ball to mask his incompitence.
I wonder if the third stringer is gonna in after the half?
