They are doing exactly what everyone thought they needed to do, yet somehow it's become "making excuses". It's possible that the front office and Gun don't know how to fix the D. It's also possible that everything they've tried so far really did need to be done, and it wasn't a matter of just one thing.
After this year, I'd say the criticism will be deserved. But I just don't see how anyone had such high expectations for this defense in only two years.

Don't put me in that camp.
I have been screaming about talent since 1999. If we had given Robinson the tools to work with (Surtain, Bell, DJ, etc.) that Gunther had been given, I'd bet alot of money that we'd be better. Robinson won 2 Super Bowls with the kind of talent we have now.
