I'm of something near the same thought. As explosive the offense has shown to potentially be, the defense has been at times just as porous. I can't pull the 'decimated by injuries' card, because it's football, every team is hurt/banged up. However, in a few instances, they've shown glimpses of being a cohesive/ball hawk-ish unit. They haven't had a consistent linebacker corps this year and it shows. The secondary, for them to be playing as well as they are after replacing Dawkins with Sean Jones/Macho Harris in the off-season, is a feat in itself. With the nonstop motor up front in 58, and his interchangeable mates besides him, pressure is most likely on it's way.
I think they pull it together, Andy and co. focus more on shoring up the one glaring hole on the defense rather than the offense, and they'll "get it fixed".
