I am aware of the limitations of this defense and I'm not saying Tosh can't be a good DC, but fundamentally this defense did not improve as much as it needed to this season. I know all of the reasons this defense was #7 in S&P that isn't my issue, my issue is his inability to make specific changes to attack the best offenses we faced. That is a problem.

I agree that Tosh has room for improvement, but as a fairly accomplished amateur chef, I can tell you that you can't make fine cuisine with crap ingredients. No, I'm not saying all the ingredients were crap. But it only takes a bad ingredient or 2 and the whole thing goes sour. A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link, and we had some weak links in spots, particularly as it related to depth and flexibility.

I am bothered by the lack of development and PT for the backups in the second half of the season. I'm not sure why that happened, but I have no reason to blame Tosh specifically or singularly.

I think as whole the Defense could have been a lot better BUT the more I think..,they had really had bad luck and natural challenges. You lose all those guys in the secondary then lose Diggs...Buggs gets banged up for the second half of the schedule...you lose pass rushing depth before the season even starts. With Davis coming back and if Jennings stays I think the pass rush DL depth is manageable and the rest of the D should be real experienced. I’m excited
