That pass rush is so freaking bad. It needs to be fixed. I think Lovie Smith is out in Houston at the end of the season. Hire him as the new DC. I bet he can turn around our D into at least some respectability.

Here's the thing, the DC is so freaking bad, I'm not sure what we have in terms of our defense. Compare how god aweful our offense was last year with how good they look this year. Every week, the offense has some new added play that I haven't seen before. Yesterday, there were 2 really good plays, one a run play and the other a pass route that looked like they just installed it for this week. The offense is improving each week.

Now compare that with the defense. They are getting worse by the week. The defense looks pedestrian, and honestly I feel like Caldwell is in over his head. He seems like a good guy, but damn, this isn't working out. He's got to go. With that said, I think if we bring in a capable Defensive Coordinator, a Lovie Smith, and you give him an offseason I think he can do what Pederson did with the offense. Trayvon Walker and Devon Lloyd played extrememly well the first 6 weeks or so of the season. They have completely gone off the rails since. I gotta believe that there's some disconnect between the DC and these players. This is Caldwell's first season as a DC, it didn't work out. Let's move and get an experienced DC. Houston is going to fire Lovie Smith after this season, when they do, we should hire him immediately.
