Like everybody else the problem is this team cant stop anybody. So duh, the problem is defense, but why?
Ill go to the other side of the ball, and you see they are basically running the same offense as last yr. McCarthy didnt change one thing IMO. Maybe the blocking scheme in some ways but that too is pretty much the same. And Dallas has the #1 offense in the NFL.
But on the other side, Nolan changed everything about the defense with no OTAs and minicamps and only half of a traning camp. With no preseason games aswell. Not to mention They were gonna have 2 new DTs a New DE and new CB and S. So you have a new defensive scheme with half your projected starters being new. I think this is basically what Jaylon was kinda pointing at when he made that make it simple comment. We see the Colts taking this simple approach too and their defense is on fire. Keep it simple and just execute fundamentals and youll have success.
Add into the factor of MM stubbornly thinking this team is ok with what they got instead of dipping into FA for a S and a LB and maybe a DT. S is the biggest weakness by far IMO. Thompson has given up so many TDs. When there are guys like ET, Reid and Jefferson are out there, as is Randall amd Bethea.
At LBer i think the team is waiting for Lee. should be back maybe next week or the week after.
DT is pretty thin for quality. Somebody just needs to step up. I think Nolan just needs to blitz more. But a S is needed to be able to cover ground. Thompson, Worley arent the answer.
Good write up...but don't know what to think about it....its like all phases of the defense are a mess....were do you start
