Shanahan is equating defensive shortcomings this year to last year's offensive struggles that resulted from OL injuries.

Well, he has a point there when you think about it. Look at the OL this year and how well they've performed so far.
We're essentially down 4 starters on defense. Jackson, Meriweather, Rak, Carriker. There's bound to be a drop off when you lose that many guys. Not sure if we'd be top 5 with those guys, probably middle of the pack, but that would have been good enough for a few more wins, easily.
