An elite defense can become an average defense (and vice versa) without any changes since so much of defensive production is opportunistic. Geno Stone is the perfect example of this. He was a ball hawk last season because he was just in the right place at the right time. This season, he can't even tackle a guy, let alone intercept a pass. This kind of shift could theoretically happen across an entire (or a significant portion of a) defense, for better or worse.
Very true. A new DC could come in and revive the entire thing. Back to fundamentals and such and the Defense could make a complete
turn around pretty easily. We haven't had any lucky breaks this season it seems, at least enough to win games where the Quiefs have had
every lucky break imagineable and the refs helping them out in order to win close games.
