Our defense is SOFT. This has been a trend for Reid/Sutton defenses for a while now. They play on their heels, give massive cushions and don't fly to the ball carrier. They look confused, tentative, and weak. I believe this is a direct result of the culture that Andy and Bob have created.
The next coordinator has to be someone who is willing to kick these guys in the asses. We've been missing a sense of urgency and mean streak on defense for far too long. It's the reason that we continually give up 3rd and longs. The killer instinct just isn't there.
