When the whole defense looks that bad, I don't single out any one individual.  I think we have an across the board problem on that side of the ball.  Up until this week, teams were throwing on our turnstile secondary because we were down to the 6th option.  This week when facing an inexperienced QB, the game plan was run, run run and our defense was massively exposed.  If POZ played (Ha I'm not a fan of Ifs and buts) maybe the big gains would have been smaller but they still would have marched down the field.

 

The Secondary is poor to average.

The Linebackers are average with Poz and poor without him.  We have maybe one guy with future potential.

The defensive line is average to good depending on how the other 2 units play.

 

Other teams practice squad and our practice squad provide no remedy for the problem.  I don't think we have enough draft picks or free agent ideas to work through it either.

 

Sadly this 3 year targeted rebuild is really a 5-7 year toilet flush.  The structure of the league requires you to fix the QB and work with your draft to improve your team.  We have done okay in general on the offensive side of the ball.  You can see the progress there but unfortunately we are witnessing the decline on defense.
