They are getting ran all over and the pass rush has been weak with the exception of the Rams game. I really can’t judge how bad the DBs are because of how terrible the DL/LBs have been. When you can’t stop the run or rush the passer with any consistency then you are going to give up big plays in the passing game.
100%. There have been a couple missed communications but everyone knew that was to expected the first part of the year. Hill has played just as good as Bates or Bell did last year. Scott has been bad but Bates started pretty poor last year.
As you said, the front 7 is much more of a concern in addition to Hilton being a lot worse so far this year.
