Could lack of chemistry be an issue for the defense ?

Every time the defense showed any type of grit the other side of the ball faltered. “Complimentary football” as they say is not something we were very good at last year. One side would play well, the other would stink. Ravens game, defense put in a valiant effort early but Joey B and crew could go nowhere.

Dead on.  The Ravens games were the worst offensive outputs I have seen in ages.  

What makes me most OPTIMISTIC about the defense is the depth and talent up front:  Reader, Ogunjobi, Hendrickson, Hubbard, and then you have some speed off the edge with Ossai.

What makes me the most PESSIMISTIC is the LB corps.  I love what I saw in Wilson, but Pratt regressed and I could see a huge hole in nickel when Pratt is asked to cover, unless he gets back on track and shows why they drafted him.  STILL hoping for a veteran LB to be signed that still has speed to start over Pratt.
