re: No one should have been surprised by our defense yesterday

Nobody, including yourself, knew it'd be this bad.

I really didn't think we would be this bad on D prior to the season. It was only after watching the first 4 games that it became obvious. And yes, it was obvious. We get pushed around up front, we don't create QB pressure let alone sacks and we can't cover anyone.

I just believe its fricking retarded to spotlight him out when all 11 aren't very good.

I was actually using this as a symptom of a deficient defense talent wise. You're right, he is not the only problem.
For example, Mills is not a newcomer. He was a starter last year but he is totally out of his depth out there.
There are absolutely ZERO playmakers on defense. None!

A coach can usually motivate a kid by making them ride the pine. We simply don't have enough young talent who are ready for playing time to replace what we have.
