Without a pass rush, we will continue to get gashed in the soft shell defense Donatell is running. I think what I'm most confused and concerned about is that this defense was supposed to be disruptive, especially for the opposing QB. It looked that way in week 1, but that has completely disappeared.

They seemed to rise to the occasion after the BS no call on Theilen. If they could only have played that way the entire day.

I'm still waiting for this devastating duo of OLBs we heard a out all offseason.  Why the hell do we not hear more about the sacks and pressure that these guys are producing?  I think Hunter is better starting off in tight and taking advantage of the OTs and TEs not being able to handle his speed and power when its on them so quickly,  however the extra room from him standing up and off a bit seems to defeat that advantage a bit.
