Defense will be a concern moving forward until it's not. Next two weeks are going to be interesting for them in London. Chicago just had their first major breakout game offensively yesterday and New England can't score points to save it's life on offense.

I know people are excited for Ventrell Miller, but, it feels like this defense operates and flows differently when Foye is not out there manning the middle of it all. I think their needs to be some serious consideration moving forward on how they're going to approach teams from a base package perspective as well as limiting the amount of rotations.

Seeing Nielsen on the sideline besides himself, dejected and huffing and puffing in stress looking over his tablet without being around his actual squad tells me a lot about him as a coach. So far, he's not better than Caldwell, and, it continues to show Doug's poor networking and lack of knowledge on how an NFL caliber defense should conduct itself.

He truly lucked out with Jim Schwartz when he was with the Eagles.

Safety play is bad. Period. That's going to need to be addressed ASAP mid season. I am looking forward to having Wingard and Gipson in the line-up. I have seen enough of Johnson. I don't think he has it at this level. I am already eyeing Alabama's safeties, Mukuba in Texas, Winston Jr. at Penn St. & Moore out of Michigan to draft at some point.

Cisco has just been a guy this year. He's not making any plays on the football. He's not really impacting the game as he has in the past. Not impressed with him at all. Getting Campbell back could help on the outside. Should see a natural staggering down effect play wise on the depth chart with his return. Again, though, for me, it's all about getting Foye back in the middle and figuring out where to put Miller.

Miller has earned a starting spot. In run defense alone. He's the best player out there. I would look to move him to an outside position if possible. Also, again, where is the damn rush or presence from the interior of this defense? I am not seeing Hamilton. I am not seeing Armstead. I am not seeing Ledbetter or RHH. There's nothing going on with those rookies they drafted between Smith and Jefferson as well.
