I think the biggest thing we could do is become less predictable... mix things up more and try to force the opposing QB into misreading what we are doing an getting them to make a mistake.  You can't always play coverage or always blitz, we need to take a more balanced approach.  That being said, the more we do, the more we have to learn and execute properly, which could leave our own defense more vulnerable to mistakes and blown coverages.  But at this point, do we really have anything to lose?  We need to do something.
