Problems with the Defense, IMHO

Don't get me wrong, I'm not labeling Carlos Rogers a bust at the moment. I actually think he's as good or better at tackling than any of our other corners, and I've only seen him get beat deep once, which isn't bad for a rookie. My only real knock against his is that he plays very soft intermediate coverage.

My main point is the D line has been a problem for years, and the coaching staff has put forth very little effort to fix it.
