My biggest issue so far this year is the defense...easily the defense.

We knew the offense would be a WIP, with either a rookie Allen or he who shall not be named, surrounded by a meh-at-best OL and a severe lack of proven playmakers.

However, this defense was supposed to keep us competitive...  They aren't even giving the KC Chiefs offense a chance with their pathetic display out there through the first 6 quarters.

DL - Spent $$$ on Star and Murphy, added a high draft pick in Harrison Phillips to Hughes, Kyle, Yarborough and Shaq.  That should be a solid DL.

LB - Added a premium draft pick in Edmunds to Milano and Alexander.  Milano and Lorax look ok but TE, damnnnn dude, talk about growing pains.

Secondary - Tre White, Hyde and Poyer should provide a strong unit alone, but that theory is being tested by the fact we have literally no #2 CB at the moment.

The McDermott-led Defensive effort in the 2nd Half of the Chargers game is what I expected to see this year..  No idea what the dumpster fire of six quarters that precipitated that were all about but it better stop because we cant develop Allen with no OL, no weapons AND no defense.  Especially when we, on paper, should have a good defense.
