We are not generating enough pressure with our front 4, and our secondary is diminished by an aging Pac and the loss of Nelson.Well, Burfict is the emotional and playmaking leader of the defense. His return will be huge once he settles in. Williams has been here awhile but with few real snaps. He will improve quite a bit. The same goes for Hunt and Clarke as I can see them improving each game. I think Hazlett needs some time to adjust to this team. I'm seeing the lbs as a weak area so far. Dansby will get better, too. So far he looks very Hawk like. We need to blitz a bit more as QBs are having a long time to look around in the pocket. I think our lack of pass rush is the main problem on defense. That can get better with scheme.
