No heart and soul guy, leading the defense, no one to get into a players face, no one busting his tail every down with unmatched energy.
Until we get a true leader on defense we will see more of the sloppiness and don't care attitude that was on full display Sunday!
Your leader has to be a Strong Safety and/or a LB, imo. A player that is cerebral, verbal and can line players up and read the offense. Get a defense in and out of allignments based on offensive formations. Any coincidence they've NOT not drafted a top stud S (I don't believe) or a LB in the 1st round since Keith Rivers going back some 11-12 years? The irony in all this is their last great defensive leader was an undrafted FA in Burfict who obviously had 1st round talent but the off-the-field issues curtailed him from getting drafted high..
