The issues lies with Wash and wash alone. I think we are at the point where he's gonna really need to show he can adapt the defense mid game , I'm not so sure we have too many examples of him successfully doing that.

Agree on everything.
I can't remember a game where we adjusted correctly if we got outschemed at the start. We either got it right to start with or never recovered (same goes with the offense although the situation on that side of the ball is very different).
And to me he lacks the right creativity and aggressiveness in calling it at crucial times.Not a trash coordinator, he can prepare well within what he knows but the feeling that these defensive players aren't utilized to their full potential is there (even last year, at times).

By the way communication issues Marrone was talking about are on all 3 phases. Special teams too, the Wilson 12th man on the field situation being the worst exemple.
On offense as well. 
It all goes back to preparation during the week and Marrone didn't shy away from that. Now let's see if he gets it right.
