The defense is pretty bad this year

Agree, it's the coaching.  Just about all of the players are the same, they haven't suddenly lost all of the talent they had.  It is completely on Guenther to communicate with his position coaches, and hold them accountable to properly instructing the players.  I understand that he is having to deal with changes among his position coaching staff, but it's not like they all just showed up to the building last week.

It's obvious that Guenther is trying, as he has been blitzing more often than typical.  However, we obviously don't have the personnel at LB to get the job done effectively.  I would like to see the emphasis go back to playing Zone, and focus on coverage responsibility.  Good coverage will result in more sacks than getting burnt by leaving an open man on the field.
