With the secondary, it's obvious that Leshawn Simms should be spending more time on the bench than on the field, but has been pressed into service because of the injuries to Waynes and others.
In spite of all, if the team could manufacture a pass rush, the defense really wouldn't look all that bad. We've had excellent play from the Safeties.
In all honesty, if we had any pass rush at all I feel like the numbers overall would drop a bit. I continue to bang the drum that the biggest issue on this team is not the O-line (which is bad), but is in fact the pass rush which has been abysmal for a while now. We can't manufacture pressure with four-man fronts which means we can't win against good teams.
