Easy Fixes for the Defense

2) Bench Vigil. His PFF rating is 35.5. That's considerably worse than Bodine/Ced at their worst. He's by far our worst starter. Go with Evans over him. Or go Rey/Minter/Burfict.

3) STOP playing weak zone coverage. Good QB's pick it apart. Constantly. Repeatedly. Over and over.

I think these minor tweaks could make our defense much better.

Agreed, but Dennard should be starting over Kirkpatrick, if we are being totally honest.  We know Dre will be toasted once by pitt, at least once.  

Love Evans...no one outruns him to the edge...No idea why he isn't playing.  Nevermind.  I forgot Dumbass Lewis is still our coach.

The zone is so pathetically weak.  Hate it, but I'm sure opposing QBs love it...throwing no incompletions and no risk of an INT.  Great idea, coaches.

How about how to fix the offense?

1.) Sit Lafell, play Core, Ross, and Malone.  Ross gets at least 5 touches a game.  Get the ball in his hands and let these worn out defenses try to chase him.  

2.) Go two TEs in the Red Zone with Kroft and Uzoman, and AJ and Malone or Core as the WRs.  You have four targets, and the shortest is 6'4" with a 36" vertical. 

3.) Line Gio up at slot WR in rotation with Boyd and Erickson.  

4.) Let Dalton call the plays from the LOS with no huddle.  Get the steelers in nickel and pound them with Mixon...  If they stay in base, spread them out and attack.  No substitutions.  

5.) Fire Marv, or set on fire, whichever
