The "issues" you reference all coincide with acknowledged roster weaknesses. The 1958 New York Giants coaching staff couldn't have coached a bottom 5 roster in the league to postseason prominence, even in today's postseason format. Without a healthy Andrew Luck, that's what this roster appears to be, especially defensively. Average OLBs and bad ILBs just don't cut it in a 3-4, where LBs are supposed to be the strength of the defense. With little pass rush ability and ILBs that can't cover, of course the passing game is going to be problematic game in and game out. Ballard couldn't fix it all in one offseason, I'm certainly willing to give him time considering the mess he inherited outside of the QB position. Hooker and Mack look very promising, as does Wilson when healthy. Given his pedigree and acquisitions to date, I trust him to be able to find the pass rushers and ILBs this team desperately needs.
