Personally, I cut Paulie G some slack right now.
- He's working in new position coaches
- Burfict missed 3 games and looked rusty after returning
- Michael Johnson has fallen off, Pacman has as well to an extent
- No Reggie Nelson
- Faced some really tough offenses early (Pitt, NE, Dallas)
...and the defense is still middle of the pack. We definitely aren't up to recent standards (especially in the pressure department), but with all the above considered, I think it's too soon to panic.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
