On offense, the offensive line is terrible at communication. They double a guy and let another guy run free.

On defense, we can't stop misdirection...week after week.

.....which is what's killing us on offense. When guys are running free in your backfield, it's hard to run or throw.

As for the defense, that's been a problem for a while.  You gotta have smart LB play, and those guys have to be rangy too. Also, I think losing Dennard has hurt us big time there. He's been at least a solid contributor to the run game on the edge. Bates is really struggling too this season. I see decent contain from the dline, especially Monday, with absolutely no support behind them. That's a huge part of the struggles IMO.
