Not to go negative but that team was 8/8 too.
This team is already the epitome of mediocre. As the article states BTW.

BTW JH led the team in sacks and had more tackles than all but one 3/4 OLBer in the league despite missing the month of September.
The defense was pathetic before JH returned and wound up number one in yards allowed.

It is not easy to replace JH even as a shell of himself.
