Just wondering what your solution to fixing the defense is.
Is George Edwards the main problem? Would this defense be that much better with a new coordinator? Are the CB's the main problem? Lack of pass rush? Inconsistent run defense? Do we need to guard the edge better against runs?
I'll be honest, I like a lot of our defensive players (especially front 7). But in the end someone has to be responsible for our poor defensive showings. As much as people have castigated our poor pass defense (justifiably), we're last in the league in allowing 5.5 YPC. In this case I don't see it being as poor as last year because we're not consistently allowing 6 YPC...they can bottle up the run, but still give up too many big plays (like Vick).
So what's the problem and how would you fix it? What positions need to be replaced in the offseason?
