A few players don't have trust in him. Ozzie draft strategy has faults......Plodding, big hitting teams are dinosaurs.  Fast, quick offenses and defenses are what is going to win.   Look at Denver's defense right now.  Von Miller and Demarcus Ware pressuring QB's and spending the $$ to get elite CB talent like Aqib Talib.  They get sacks and create turnovers.   Same thing with Seattle's defense the last few years.  Fast and create turnovers.  Ravens defense?   Stout and slow. Starting CB's the last 2 years that we are signing right off the street.    Stop drafting defensive tackles and tight ends on day 2 of the draft.

If Perriman is healthy, we could be seeing a completely different thing from the offense, definitely. But I still think Cam Cameron vanilla play calling from Trestman hinders the team too. To be fair, we have the 8th most points scored in the league. That's a pretty incredible number. So, yea, the offense isn't the issue right now... however, there needs to be a mentality change. I'm not saying abandon "defense wins championships". I'm saying that we need to embrace that it's a passer's league. 

To address your points, you're right. They paid for top pass rushing and have a top corner. They make plays on the defense. They also don't seem to make the same mistakes we make and draw flags.
