In an ideal situation, Ben Johnson as HC/OC and someone like Saleh as DC I'd be happy with but can't see either rushing to come here.

Campbell going out in the opener was a huge loss.  To a lesser extent, losing Wingard in the preseason may have had a bigger impact than we initially assigned to it.  Couple that with Darby and Armstead being underwhelming.  Hopefully Armstead still has some room for improvement after recovering from injury.

Hey! You make some good points, the injuries in the secondary have hurt and so has losing Oluokon. The backups have really struggled but it seems the players are struggling with the system. I think before the game one of the sideline reporters said Doug had said a lot of the big plays were from miscommunication and players not playing their assignments correctly. I expect a learning curve with a new system but the D is 32nd at the moment and giving up 35+ points in nearly every game lately.

You either change the system to fit what you have or simplify what your doing as its not working at the moment. They also have to get more from players. Armstead looks a shadow of the guy from San Francisco. Darby was great for Baltimore last year, now he's an easy completion.

It was a scramble by Williams that didn't quite get back to LOS.
