You can't get pushed around on both lines and win.

For sure, that was the basic problem.

Right now there are no pass rushers on the team.

Also appears to be true.

My biggest concern is a lack of guys who play like their hair is on fire. ...

That also seems to be true. It is not just a matter of talent. It seems that there is no real fire out there on defense, at least in the front 7. Granted, it has only been two games, but I don't see the "Lets go crush them." mentality present on the defense. Past Stanford defenses often made up for not the best talent with sheer will. I don't see any signs of that happening with this defense, at least not yet.
