Watching that D last night, and I know the backfield has so many injuries, it didn't look the same unit and it was only 2 weeks ago. They looked slower, lost so many individual battles and players running wide open all over the place.

I'm not putting everything on the D, I think you nailed it with better than last year but still part of the problem bit last night was a really bad game.

Is it a one off? Burnt out? Given up on coaches? I guess we'll see.

It's a new scheme with a bunch of new personnel in the secondary and our biggest piece in the secondary went out with a hamstring injury in week 1.  The expectation months ago around here was that the defense would probably struggle early because of the change in scheme.  It's been exacerbated by injury, but we're seeing that in real time now.  I guess that performance in week 1 unfairly raised the expectations for many.  Please God let Tyson Campbell get healthy this week.  Scratch that, didn't realize he was put on IR so he's out at least until week 6.
