We've got to get way better on D if we hope to have a chance at being competitive this season. I'm not ready to pin it all on Austin just yet but something has to change.

I've been watching the game again and we're playing very soft coverage - again. We're taking bad angles for tackling, we're over committing, we're losing at the LOS, you can tell there's missed assignments and confusion in the secondary and on and on.

That would be my word.....with the caveat that Real Deal mentioned.  Having Burfict and Brown out at the same time is tough.  Nickerson isn't going to start anywhere in the league....Evans probably isn't either.  Both have shown some growth, but they're just barely serviceable at this point.
