I'm really not worried that Barwin is off to a slow start because the rest of the defense is doing well. Perhaps when some of the other guys wear down, Barwin will be fresh enough to go on a tear, so it's all good.
Now, if we're in Week 10 and he's still producing the same, it might be cause for concern. It should be noted that Barwin is a converted TE that was still learning defense when we drafted him and now he's had two position shifts so there may still be some technique stuff he has to work on, much like Mercilus.

So after they prove they are a top defense in the league (for the 2nd straight year) you'll go out on a limb and say they are a top defense in the league?
