Toughness and Strength

And I don't agree that strength is an issue either.  If it was all about strength, no DB would ever tackle a back or TE.  It's not physical with this team.  It's lack of desire and terrible technique.

I don't know if Chip Morton is a problem or not.  But he was here when Zimmer had the #4 defense.    Did he forget how to do his job since then or have the players forgotten how to do theirs?

In the case of Eifert.....it's DEFINITELY bad luck, and I'd say the Denard injury was too.  However, on defense, or either line....bad technique or taking plays off can get you hurt.
