Only 3 new guys though Guys who have been on the team for more than a year aren't exactly new. Olshanksy and Brookings have played under Wade.
Really just leaves Sensy as the only guy coming fresh in and hes probably been playing as well as anyone not named Ratliff.
Compared to last year, there's probably fewer new guys. You had Pacman, Thomas, and I guess you could count Tank seeing how he jumped in so late the previous year. And you also gotta factor in the rotation at safety after RW went down.
I just don't think this has much to do with it. The front 7 are practically the same. Igor probably knows Wade's system as good as anyone and Keith is an upgrade over Thomas so there's no real difference in terms of the guys up front. No sacks.
I don't believe for a second it's because of Ellis. You might be able to say Greg would have had a sack but there's no way he was such a big part of the pass rush that he himself is the difference between leading the league in sacks and being worst in sacks.
I don't know what the problem on D is. I don't think any player out there is playing with confidence really. The secondary sure isn't. The secondary is playing scared, big time.
Whatever the problem is, it needs to get figured out quick.
