Patience my friend. There is some talent on this team, unfortunately, most of it is on the offensive side of the ball. But the draft is coming soon and I strongly feel that Pioli will be looking at the draft to add some young defensive talent on this team.
In addition to discussing about talent, I think that was part of the whole plan when Herm Edwards took over the team?
Get rid of most of the veterans on the roster, rebuild the roster from scratch and load it with an abdunance of youth and talent. And as a consequence, the roster went from being "old" to too "young". Therefore, it also lacked veteran leadership in the process.
I think this move is a classic example in large part of understanding your teams situation and the dynamics that evolve around it.
