We were without Adebo , we traded Latt. and he was hurt when we traded him. Werner missed time so did Harris and Mathieu. And one thing firing DA did was make the D worse
Yes, we had some injuries in the D backfield but our main issue on D was the inability to stop the run...
We didn't have hardly any significant injuries with that group.
Since the end of the 2021 season, Lattimore hasn't really been available on a consistent basis.
The Adebo injury probably affected our D the most this year...
I agree that firing DA mid-season had a negative affect on our D but I think the main culprit with our defensive downfall this year is the age barrier that finally hit our defensive leaders. They could only play well in spurts.
