This team needs an infusion of talent at ILB as well as an enforcer at SS.
For years LB was the strength of the defense and team overall. I think that's changed. It's now DL. Jaye Howard might be our best defensive player so far this year. It's close between him and Houston.

I think that Derrick Johnson, while still an effective knifing player and great at avoiding blocks is a major liability in coverage because of how stiff his hips are.
I think he's been really overrated in coverage his whole career, mostly because he got a lot of int's on coverages that had him playing rotating zones.
we don't rotate enough defensively either. If you watch the Bengals they have two starting horses at DE but they rotate those guys and their defensive tackles non-stop.
Patriots are even rotating their O-line this season.
I dont think we rotate nearly enough on both sides of the ball, Maclin is left in the game when visibly fatigued
