task #1 for a defense is to stop the run.
The first two weeks were horrible.
Sunday, The Chargers got 3.5 ypc.
Second task is red zone defense-we're still terrible.
Third task is to stop the pass; and that's a combination of coverage and pass rush. We apparently have no pass rush answers although we've spent a ton of money on Clark, Jones, and Reed. Coverage-wise, we were without two of our top three corners most of the second half, and minus our fastest LB.
So...I see some improvement and getting some guys back healthy will help, but there are still very real problems in search of solutions.
