After today's loss it's obvious. Lawrence needs better pass protection. Lawrence needs a legitimate pass catching threat to open everything else up. The turnovers that plagued them early should go away next year but they still need a legitimate, commanding presence out there on the outside.

It's also obvious that Caldwell cannot coach this defense into a succesful unit with his first attempt at that role but it's even more obvious that Baalke has severely overvalued the defense over the last two years via the draft and free agency and it's the most glaring issue.

There's simply been a severe lack of impact, push, streakiness and consistency on defense in a positive way this year. That's a combination of lack of talent marrying a lack of experience in Caldwell.
