The defensive woes for the purple and gold have been well documented. They are currently the worst defense in the league per total defense allowing a shade under 400 yards per game.
They needed to make some changes, as the defense was becoming stagnant and predictable. That can be the case with the defense that Ed Donatell is running. It runs a lot of the same coverages and, without the players to maximize the system with checks and disguises, it becomes very predictable and easy to manipulate.
