Possibly... But this overall soft scheme being run by Austin is pathetic. I despise soft, zone defense. Yes, of course I want to lead the league in takeaways too. But getting off the field on third down has to be a top priority and I just don't think it is. This looks exactly like the Chuck Bresnahan days. His defenses forced plenty of turnovers but they finished 26th or worse in overall defense every year he was in charge. That won't win you many games... And let's be real here: we are very lucky to be 3-1. We could just as easily be 0-4. Defense has been the obvious hindrance. I don't see it getting any better until Teryl is relieved of his duties.
