You don't "fix" a defense this bad, but you can make it at least competitive. We couldn't have won 13 games last year with this defense. The thing is we have the same players, plus Lofton, Hawthorne and Bunkley (I realize Hawthorne has been out), and have still somehow transformed into the worst defense in NFL history through 7 games. That doesn't speak well for anyone, players or coaches.

This D was bad last year too. This is why GW blitz almost every damn play because we can't cover or get pressure on the QB. Spags need to stop believing in the D so much and start doing what GW did cause playing a traditional D isn't something this team can do.

That was my point, guy. I know they weren't good last year, but they were at least competitive enough to compliment the offense. That's why Spagnuolo has to shoulder a lot of blame, along with the players, for not recognizing that his scheme just isn't going to work right now. And now the offense is failing right along with them.
