Offensive weakness: OL. I think everyone agrees on this one. It's pretty obvious honestly. I do think that everything starts to gel in the coming weeks. We honestly played against 2 really good front 7s the last two weeks, and we have another one coming up. We really don't play a front seven as strong as any of the teams we just played (+ Denver) the rest of the year except when we play Pittsburgh again.
Defensive weakness: We can't seem to stop the run. This has been our weakness for a while honestly. Teams gash us with the run and then that forces us to put one less guy in coverage and that makes our secondary look worse than it actually is. When Burfict comes back I assume this is going to be cleaned up too.
I think this team will get better as the year goes on. We have quite a few new contributors on this team right now, and it takes time to gel. We have 2 new receiving weapons, 1 new right tackle, and a new OC. I wasn't very surprised that our offense sputtered a little bit so far this year. By the end of the year (when it really counts) our team will be firing on all cylinders on offense.
I think the defense has played pretty damn good so far this year (other than against the run). We limited a loaded Jets receiving core to almost nothing, and we made AB have his worst game of his career as the #1 receiver. The secondary is fine. We will improve against the run game a lot when Burfict comes back, and the defensive line will be able to get to the QB a lot easier when the opposing team isn't allowed to hold every play.
The only thing that worries me about this team is the run game honestly. I know the OL hasn't helped it what so ever, but Hill has seemed to regress yet again this year. I didn't think that Hill would have a great year this year, but it looks like he's one of the worst RBs in the league. We need a RB that can force his way up the middle and make the opposing defense get worn down. Right now when we hand it to Hill it almost seems like we're wasting a down since he rarely gets many (or any at all) yards. I'm really hoping that he will improve as the OL gets better, but IDK.
