His major issues have been injuries and suspensions, and lack of being held accountable since the day Mike Zimmer went to coach the Vikings. All the new DC needs to do is get his attention, and start holding him accountable to being the leader of the defense, again.
He was really good before this past year.
I don't know what happened in 2018, but he looked like a shell of his former self. He was a half step behind every single pass that 2017 Burfict could have easily broken up.
It's really frustrating. I wonder if he'll rebound in 2019 (or if the coaches will even give him an opportunity to rebound with us at all.)
