Opportunistic Defense, well coached...Affirmative
Top 10 Defense...Not so much
Three major problems with our defense...
One, we cannot stop the gash runs up the middle forcing opponents to pass against our strength which, can't believe this now, is our defensive backs; Ellis is a bust when you consider the move to grab him and the production in return, Harper, well the 49'ers got him in coverage against V Davis and you saw how ugly that is (Circa Chicago Game), and Vilma is one of the most skilled LB in the game, but he's not a threatening Middle Linebacker...
Two, we lack a fearsome hitter at the safety position, especially strong safety position, that keeps runners from stretching for extra yards rather than turtle up (Frank Gore fell forward, PT fell back or straight down)...
Third, we've got the slowest pass rush in the NFL; the FA acquisitions were nice, we've not drafted nor seriously addressed the pass rush, and this is almost a big a problem as being weak up the middle...
I love our team, but I have to be honest and give tough love here...
