This defense is a major concern...

With that being said our pass rush is good/great, we have a good secondary, and Text is coming back. This is going to sound bold but by the end of the year our defense will be better than the offense as long as their no injuries.

I don't think Iloka played well unless Nelson was on the team.

Nelson was the brains of the duo.  He just got old.

He still made a crucial play for the Raiders against the Browns last game.
