The fact that we were 4th in defense shows a lot about what Blache did with less than stellar talent up front.

I also could be wrong, GTripp can shed some light, but it was the opposite, we were often bringing blitzes, leaving the DB's by themselves. This goes to the lack of turnovers more than anything. If the DB knows he's alone, like ours often were, you can't be as aggressive to the ball because you have to prevent the big play. If our line is able to get pressure by themselves, or an odd lb blitzing, it should especially help our third and long Defense. Regardless, I don't think any coach is more on the hot seat than Zorn, and GB is as likely to retire as he is to be fired.
