Lawson had 8.5 sacks last year and only got 1.0 before he got hurt early this year. Neither MJ, Willis, nor Hubbard have stepped up into those shoes to be that dynamic pass rusher opposite of Dunlap.
Your leading tacklers are Jessie Bates (87) and Shawn Williams (83). Typically, it's the LBs that lead a team in tackles (by far). The highest LB is at 58 tackles, and that's Jordan Evans. Vontaze Burfict only has 31 combined tackles in six games. That would equate to not even 83 tackles over the course of 16 games. That's terrible.
When it comes to coverage, no one even has double-digit PDs yet. The highest LB (Preston Brown) only has 4 PDs and he only played 7 games. And for INTs, it's really bad. Williams and Bates have 7 INTs between them but no CB has an INT. The only LBs to have an INT are Brown (2) and Evans (1). The only other player who has an INT besides those four players is Michael Johnson (1).
The change was with the DC and scheme and it was allowed to be broken and continue to be broken and is still broken. Marv loves himself some Austin.
