They are also 23rd in points/game, and  31st in 3rd down conversion %

So yeah, I would have them overall in that mid 20 range at most, definitely lower than what I said just a bit ago. Basically they just aren't that good. 

How is a new DC going to remedy the situation at NT?  Glassgow is gone for the year, and Billings just ain't up to the challenge.  One might think "Oh, that's only one position", but it is a position that means so much to teams that can stop the run and put their pass rushers into effect.  When you don't have a monster to tie up two OL every play, the LBs have Guards and Centers in their faces all day long.  Then, the Safeties have to come down, leaving the middle of the field completely vulnerable.
