The defensive philosophy needs a serious make over immediately

We need to get healthy and the front office needs to make some trades to sure up this defense.

You know what, usually no but we were actually talking about it during the game yesterday.  Right now they are giving up big plays because there is absolutely no pressure to even hurry the QB.  Not too mention death by 100 cuts from long drives.

If you look at the 2nd to last drive yesterday the Bengals finally started to bring pressure and Dalton was hurried and almost threw a pick to Pratt.  I'd rather have that and give up a big play now and then rather than to sit back and get picked apart.  At least we'd be able to get our offense back on the field.  These long drives eat up the clock and that puts even more pressure on the offense as possessions are more limited.
