The defense has problems that may not have a path to improve much this season.
With our starting DTs, we gave up 170 on the ground vs a bad offense that couldn't throw the ball.
As to edge, Trey is an elite pass rusher, not good vs the run. There are no other good pass rushers. Ossai continues to regress, Hubbard is seemingly washed.
Moving Dax, yet again, reflex a defense without any plans. CTB is a great CB2, Hilton cannot cover.
We have the slowest Safety room in the NFL. Bell doesnt have it anymore, Stone has always been slow, even Battle is slow but at least he is closer to his slow forty time at the combine than Stone and Bell. Battle has played 1 defensive snap this season, on the worst defense in the league, what happened there?
It is sad that that our only hope is that the injured starting DTs dont actually suck as bad as they have shown, that our 2 rookie DTs become very solid during their rookie season after being injured (never happens), and that Murphy becomes 3/4 of the old Sam and at least a half of Trey.
The "mad scientist" Lou just looks mad. He doesnt have talent but its not like he has ever had Top 10 defenses.
We are in a bad spot, with the shorthanded and bad personnel department, and cheapest owners in the NFL, we may be bad for awhile on defense.
