I think we have 3 LB's with upside, Vigil, Evans and Malik so i think we could add 1 athletic, good tackling cover
backer and we could be good. But first of all we need a LB coach that knows what the hell he is doing.
Ever since Haslett has been here our LB's seem to be out of position and not tackling like they should.

Sure hope we come out of the BYE with some major changes in mind.
Yeah, i know. We have good players, it is coaching that is the problem.

Basically though...the ratings overall are better than the results.
I think it's more than playcalling. I think it's the overall scheme that we play and philosophy. I think some players may not understand their assignments...and then a bunch of missed tackles on top of that.
When you get some time i would love to see that analysis Pistons.
I honestly think the coaches, namely Austin need to make things less complicated.
Bates is a smart dude being able to catch onto this D quicker than these veterans.
