Lawson didn’t get hurt till week 8 versus Tampa. Vigil is overrated in my opinion he’s slightly below average. Vigil got hurt against the Steelers and the defense got destroyed against Atlanta and Carolina with him and Lawson playing. It will be interesting to see how the defense does under Lou versus Austin’s coaching.
1.) I would say the Defense wasn't as bad as the numbers would indicate to begin the year. They had trouble getting off the field on third downs which really hurt them.
2.) Vigil was on pace for a huge season.
For the first 5 weeks he was on pace for 131 solo Tackles , 157 Total tacklels. 12 TFL, and 6 PD. Also according to PFF he was top 10 in rush stoppage and one of only only 8 lb who did not give up a TD in coverage.
