Starting with the defense.
Even before the disruption that has happened this year, fielding a high performing defense was going to be an long putt. The defense lost an lot of experience on the DL and Secondary. Not necessarily the best players, significant depth. Add to that a change in scheme and DC.
Then into the mix is no time in spring to transition the defense and a limited august camp.
During the season the secondary has been gutted by injury to almost every upperclassmen, there has been some instability and limited guys in a very young LB unit, and the DL, while stable, lacks the one guy that is necessary to make a three man front go, which is a true two gap nose.
Here is what the roster looked like going into yesterday also showing last years departures, unavailables, and games played.
