In reality though the Defense has been under man while also playing elite offenses. However the offense has been just as bad except for the first half of the Bucs games while playing shitty Defenses. Yet haven't been called out at all. I am sorry even if this defense held the Saints in check we wouldn't have been close.
The major problem is with roster building; since 2015! We haven't really replaced any of the players we lost since then.
Whitworth, Zeitler, Jones, Sanu, and Eifert. The only player we have replaced with better is with Boyd over Sanu the rest have been replaced with ok or crap players.
On defense we haven't done anything to improve our worst unit LB. Rey, Nickerson, and Brown are not NFL caliber players. The ones who are NFL caliber are not that great to begin with Evans is a backup who probably shouldn't play that much, Vigil is hit or miss, and Vontaz is great but he is unreliable.
It's a combination of things for sure, but you can't change the roster mid-season, so the only hope is to change the position coach - who's own scheme has been problematic as well - in hopes that a different style / approach will make some sort of difference. You either try that or watch this defense set NFL records for ineptitude.
