Not having DHall really hurts. Our pressure defense, when working properly, limits offenses to short-medium throws and gets sacks. But this requires pass defenders who can cover those routes. Without such defenders, offenses can throw high percentage passes at will and thus take Kerrigan and Rak out of the game. And, unfortunately, Amerson seems to be the only pass defender who can make it work, and even he struggled against the G-men.
