Why are they not getting to the QB? Are they playing cautious, due to the refs/rule changes? The rushing defense has just been pitiful, hopefully Burfict can help put a stop to the bleeding in that department. The secondary struggling so much is a bit of a head scratcher, as Austin was supposed to come from a DB coaching background.
The injuries are just part of the game. All teams have deal with that problem.
To me, this defensive line is losing the "offenses are getting the ball out fast" excuse now. Atlanta is a good team to get sacks on, because they love big plays. We are NOT getting to the QB, and it is killing us. If we would've played up to our ability yesterday, Atlanta would not have made that game that close. Our pass rush is supposed to be fierce... it's not working.
