That's not all on the pass rush. We were middle of the pack tied for 16th on team sacks with 41, but those teams below us didn't allow back to back games of 73% and then 97% completion percentage. That's a shitty secondary. Stop giving them a free pass.
You know what helps the DBs? A quarterback who keeps the D off the field, burns the clock an creates TD drives instead of settling for FGs. Forcing teams to play from behind

Not having Luck influenced Both sides of the ball.

This defense is based on getting to the Qb. Houston did well, but losing Turay and later Autry really crippled this D. What happened to the Colts when they lost Freeny for the super bowl?

The Dungy D requires guys getting to the QB. You build a team with guys who can execute the D as designed. You lose all your pass rushers, its a problem.

The Rams have a lot of good DBs, but this year, they couldnt get to the QB. Why do I need to keep explaining this?
