It's not like Austin was calling plays that included not tackling. That's a skill problem with the players. I'm not saying that Austin wasn't a big problem (he clearly was, especially with the players confidence in themselves), but it's kinda silly to not think that the D didn't have problems outside Austin. Tackling, situational awareness and pretty meh talent with some of the starters & backup LB position really hurt us. So I wouldn't be terribly surprised if this D is in the mid 20's or so by the end of the year. But no way do I see them in the bottom portion of the league again.
