Tito breaks down the wildly inconsistent defense, the bizarre stat of 5+ takeaways but only 7-point wins, and why this unit—the league’s highest-paid defense—has to carry the day.We hit the Aaron Rodgers outlook, whether the staff can actually evaluate QBs, and the roster decisions that keep biting: Pickett, Pickens, Najee, OL investments.
