The touchdown to the back wasn't on Poyer. Could he have taken a better angle? Maybe but that just his old legs not getting him there. That was a failure on the second level (I think Milano but will have to watch back).
The second level is by far the biggest issue. We don't have a linebacker worth a damn and Lewis needs to be in for Taron. On actual form this season he has been by far the superior player.
We played defense well vs the Chiefs too, but I take the point. I actually think Hoecht was a huge difference maker for them. He was disrupting QBs from the inside and making them move off their spot. And without that (from either he or Oliver) they are having all day to sit in and throw.
I am up for Shaq over Bernard though. It can't get much worse at linebacker.
