6 games into his rookie season 4th round pick Geno Atkins had a total of 4 tackles.  Carlos Dunlap had 7 tackles and 1 sack six games into his rookie season.  Jeremy Hill only had 170 yards through the first six games of his rookie season.

Lots of things can  change over the next 11 weeks.

True, but I don't see a player in his sixth year like MJ suddenly developing an outside speed rush, nor do I see Maualuga or Dansby being able to run with TEs.  

I still have high hopes for the likes of Clarke, Derron Smith, Dennard, etc. but I don't see many veterans suddenly changing in to top tier talent.  

I am also very hopeful that Billings and Hardison can improve the front four, but there is still a lot of work needing to be done at the LB corps.  I am, for the first time, genuinely afraid that Burfict may not be here any longer.  He just can't seem to bury the stupid Burfict and let the amazing Burfict play the game.  So depressing.
