They're not making Geno Atkins rating decline for instance.
1.) Genos numbers are worse though
2.)Vigil was actually better last season Especially at the start of last season when he had a 69 or 70 rating after 5 games. He also lead all NFL LBers with 15 run stops after said 5 games.
3.) Brown played less in the first 5 games last season and also didn't play when the Defense had it's turn around at the end. Maybe he is the weakest link on the team
4.) Teams are throwing the ball less on us this season then they were last year. Bates main strength is his coverage ability. Also it's not like teams are attacking us deep either.
