2. This team is undisciplined, and his players are regressing.

You may not agree with this and that’s fine, but Ronald Darby was one of the great young corners when he was traded to Philly. Now, he just looks like a guy sometimes.

Jalen Mills was a late-round selection with second-round talent. You already know what’s going on there. This team commits too many penalties on defense, and they don’t rise to the occasion in big moments.

In what’s now the third year for some of these players in Shwartz’s system, players are on pace to have their worst seasons in the NFL. The young guys seem to be coming along to slowly as well.

Where is Josh Sweat, and why isn’t Rasul Douglas more of a factor?

Couple that with the fact that they have 18 sacks and four interceptions for the season with, arguably, the game’s best defensive line and a fairly decent secondary, and you start asking yourself questions like what if Jim Johnson would have had a shot with these guys?
