Not to make excuses, but they've played some very good offensive teams and the rules have been changed dramatically to definitely favor offenses.
We're far from alone in seeing our defense take steps backwards.
I'm not a fan of Austin, but I have a hunch that with the return of Burfict we'll at least have a shot of marked improvement IF he can play without attracting the ire of every ref in the games he's in .
At least we know he's very good at getting players in the right positions presnap . How they do after the snap may be another story, but at least it's something to look forward to.
