I am worried about the coaching on that side of the ball. Jackson, Kirkpatrick, and Bates have all looked better than they did last year. Our D-line should have been more efficient with Geno, Carlos, Hubbard and Billings.
They've been shifting systems with new coordinators a lot in the last few years. I'm hoping that a second year in Anarumo's defense coupled with better-tackling defensive backs will bring tighter play in 2020.
I still think that they lack a real leader, though. That void hasn't been filled since Vontaze and Pacman were let go. They've seemed confused, particularly in the secondary way too often of late.
