Its really no mystery with the D and not a surprise, something we all anticipated I think
If the DL can't get a pass rush, they get torn apart. The zone coverage and lack of talent in the secondary, especially the corners but then today safeties as well due to injuries, sets this team up to be picked apart by even a decent QB if you give them time.
We all knew this would be a problem. Now the that the OL is much better, its now the weakness of the team and the D in particular : pass rush and corners.
You can't fix a whole team in one or two drafts. I am sure Ballard will work on those areas next. But for the rest of this year, "it is what it is". Luck and the offense is going to need to be putting up 30+ points many weeks to win.
Particularly disappointing this week though was the run D.
