yeah that's pretty obvious, Sheehan said on his podcast yesterday that he thinks there's something going on internally that we don't know about. Some sort of rift between the coaches and players possibly.
This is pretty damning too, guys not giving 110%

My money is on Del Rio being the problem. We have the same team and technically we've added some talent to this defense. No reason why the team cannot carry over the same success they had late last season.
I said it all offseason, this D was overrated last year. It was pretty good at times, but far from elite or dominant. They feasted on a lot of bad QB's and were usually burned by the good ones.
Whatever the problem is Ron needs to get this shit figured out ASAP before the season spirals out of control. Far too much talent on this side of the ball for them to be getting their asses handed to them play in and play out.

It seems Rivera saw this coming:
“If you have success and it’s premature and it builds this air about you, that’s not right: You get your butt kicked,” Rivera said this summer. “If for whatever reason we come out and say, ‘Well, we arrived, man; we got this,’ then we’re not going to get better. We’re not going to go back and learn from the basics. We’re not going to understand what it takes to get back to where we need to be.”

Yeah many "experts" had them the #1 Defense .... That's a coaching issue

Can't put it all on the coaches though, players out there not giving 110% is just unacceptable. They get paid a lot of money, do your effing job.

The D looks confused … now that could be coaching or there inability to grasp it .. but either is unacceptable at this level..

If JDR is truly the problem Ron needs to shit can him asap and take over the D himself before the season spirals out of control
