Mitigation of the D

We are, to put it charitably, nicked up at LB. But is that where our problem is? Or are we using our safeties overly in run support? Banker may need to think out of the box a bit.

We're not getting a pass rush which makes or island corners look well let's face it terrible.

There is more than one guy besides Banker that should figure out we need to adjust.

CB is one of the hardest positions to play, with that being said I can't be too judgmental but it would be nice to see some play on the ball. Is the talent there? Will someone emerge? I think the physical ability is there, but the mental aspect makes them look sluggish and out of place.

Especially when your left out on a island with no safety help half the time.

if we're rushing 4 and our secondary is on an island, then what exactly are the other guys doing?

Most likely trying to cover RBs & TEs.

Our safeties are trying to help in run support and our linebackers. We are so screwed at linebacker. I just don't get why people are having such a hard time figuring out why we are struggling so on D. ONE weak link at linebacker can cause HUGE problems for your D and we are playing TWO freshmen AND a walkon sophomore tons of minutes. We're screwed and NO scheme can cover for that.
