If a team has a speedy RB and runs the screen effectively...we are fvcked. And I feel like every time it's a crucial 3rd and long situation...our defense buckles.
I say clean house. Bring in a proven winner at DC.
Really? No speed on defense?
How many linebackers are faster than Willis Brooks and Lawson?
How many Safeties are faster than Mayes, Smith and Gholdson?
How many 3-4 D lineman are faster than Smith, Franklin and Soap?
I don't think that raw speed is the issue.
