If 29th or 30 worst defense doesn't concern you then, well not much will.
I see 3 areas to be addressed.
Scheme
Tackling
Individual responsibility e.g. players doing too much or too little. Over pursuing, gap responsibility, slow recognition, etc.
There is no way you can overcome all three being poor.
Also, I would not expect Burfict to be the savior as teams will scheme against him to nullify his strengths. He helps immensely, don't get me wrong. Our linebackers are the worse in the NFL. Vigil is one of the worst rated on PFF and he's been the best we can trot out there.
