Are our problems fixable?

1. Lack of pass rush. With our current DEs, I do not think that this is fixable this year without a myraid of blitzes. We do not have DEs that can rush the passer, they are to big and slow, great bodies for a 3-4 DE, but not 4-3.

2. Consistent running game. Maybe, I think we will find a back that will do good, maybe Wilbon, but will the OL be able to make a hole.

3. FGs. Looks to be in Brown's head, Reed needs to earn his paycheck and get him straightened out.

4. Tommy. Improved a lot, had a rough stretch in the 2nd quarter, with no running game and being under pressure he reverted to some bad habits. With a serviceable running game Tommy can be good, don't think he'll ever be great, but good enough.

5. Blitz pickup. Too much pressure on QB. OL, TEs, RBs and QB need to work together better, saw improvement through out the game. Better communication showed later in game as Foster's TD showed.
