We can't stop the run because neither him or Vigil are sideline to Sideline players. Also it's not like he was good last season dude was dreadful.
169 yards is less than 10% of what the team has allowed. I don't know if I can call him our "biggest issue on defense" right now.

This scheme might work if we had a really fast safety that could make tackles too...but we really don't.
Ditto on the secondary. They've all regressed.
We're on pace to give up 3024 yards rushing too. Plus, we get no pass rush.
The majority of the NFL is in Nickle what 60% to 70% of the time. If you can't play in it then you don't belong in the NFL.
