There's a huge difference between "let's see if the defense can work it out" and "the sky has fallen" two weeks into the season.
You named several possible reasons for why the defense COULD be starting slow. Including a new coordinator and new starters. And maybe even the lack of in game reps prior to the season. And you even suggested a possible solution.
So those of us who aren't panicking yet aren't "hiding our heads in the sand". We're simply saying that this defense isn't awful and there's reason to believe it will stiffen. Or not. But I'll be waiting until week 8 to feel like I know
