That's recorded history, maybe some team was worse than that before '32, but since they started keeping track, 14 was our worst season by safety combos.

Burnett is a culprit, but he had his moments. 96 tackles 60 solos. No picks, no passes defended (that has to be in error, he had a spectacular PD vs the Bears when we needed one)

Burnett has some great physical talent. Maybe HaHa and or Richardson can be the other guy and improve this very sorry unit.

Morgan playing at a much higher level is a great asset for the D. He must get better reads and use that athletic talent to make plays. He also needs to be a leader, get these kids lined up and show 'em the way. I definitely think we need him on the field if we are to be a top flight back line.
I think it was M.D. Jennings who had 0 passes defended.

Jennings was a bad player. Burnett is, I think, a pretty good player who had a bad year. I think there's a pretty good chance he bounces back.
