True, but we are really bad at a number of positions.  Our LB's are slow, non-athletic and poor tacklers.  Our OL is again terrible.  And it's not as if either of these position groups are 1 or 2 players away.  It will take a multi-year focus to fix both.  In the meantime, our best players are getting older every year so the window is slowly closing.

And Teryl Austion is a joke of a DC.  His schemes and game plans are visually inept.  Having Burfict run 20 yards back to cover the middle of a deep zone is outright insane.  Dump offs are an easy 10-15 yards even if they make a tackle, which so far they haven't.  Puke!
