Our LB play vs the pass isn't good, but our safeties are a complete liability. Moore is getting torched, and he isn't a good tackler. Wilks....meh. When you combine that with very little pass rush what you get are TEs killing us over the middle of the field. The schemes have also not been consistent - seems like our guys are slow to react.

Whoever the next guy is will have to come in and scheme around this next year, as well as get us into a WINNING MINDSET.  The OL returns, as well as most of the offense. It will be good.

Slow to react?  Surely you jest?!?
On the Lattimore TD AJ moved with the speed of a glacier.
On their last TD Moore reacted as if he had a weight in his trunk.
On one pass play we were in a 2 deep zone, Sapp (who I think was in for Maggitt on the play) dropped back in zone covering a receiver far deeper than the rest of our LBs ever have, released his man to run back up to cover the short zone while Moore sat back on his heels and never moved till after the receiver caught the pass.

BTW, we often lined Lathers up on their TE (when he was split out) yesterday, with predictable results.

All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.
