To be fair to the Defense...

The improvement in physicality and tackling from Fitz this season has been VERY noticeable. To the point where, once Lucas comes back, I honestly believe Fitz should be the starter at nickel. He is the only player on this team who can give us what Agent 0 gave this defense last season. That would allow Thornton to move into more of a reserve/special package role, which I think makes a lot of sense.

And with JJ leading the team in tackles two weeks in a row, I think he has completely solidified himself as the starting boundary safety.

That small adjustments would make this secondary so much better in coverage.
