With that said we still finished 17th in points scored and 26th in yards. Our defense finished 30th in points allowed and 32nd in yards. We missed some guys on defense at times during the year, but to me the historically bad job at coverage by our linebackers and adding depth at CB need to be priority #1.
The offensive line issues can be overcome, as I have said since last year, with good scheming. Lots of boot actions, lots of check and release, lot's of screens. All that said Mixon had a really solid year and the offense as a whole wasn't bad all things considered. The defense is just flat out exposed as they have to react to what the offense wants to do.
Not sure if you are lumping me in with the 'people act as if the offense was the main issue last year' crowd since you quoted me, but the conversation was about the o-line, a part of the offense. O line is probably getting the majority of the chatter on the board since we've made 2 moves on the o-line so far in FA. But with Glenn's injury issues, Boling being in his last year, and Hart being Hart, it's something that still needs to be a priority in the draft.
