But I think it would be smart to go back to a more traditional look after seeing Telvin falling off, busts in the run game and big plays given up with safety/cb confusion. Our coverage sold out a ton to cover scrambling QBs and the run which contributed to some pretty huge play busts. I think moving Jack back outside and getting a more traditional ILB could help tremendously. Quit playing cute and let everyone do what they do best.

What do you mean by a more traditional look? More base? Or just a bigger run stopper playing inside on base? 

Jack and Telvin are still the LBs 70% of the time and the guy playing inside on base still needs to be good at coverage or you'll get schemed to pieces by good OCs. I guess I'd be more inclined to leave Jack there

Yes, in a traditional 4/3 base formation. Schemed to pieces? What, like now? If I'm being honest, there is a lot of scheming on our part to gloss over Telvin's weaknesses like not getting off of blocks and lack of recovery when biting on play action. Teams are now exposing those weaknesses. Last year the Jags gave up a ton of explosive plays, both in run and pass.

Find the weakness and exploit it: Teams got out of 11 personnel which we match really well, to more 12, 21, and 22 which we don't match well because TEs kill Telvin and lighter CBs.

Anyways, with depth shrinking on the back end and LB play falling off, it would be rediculous to keep rolling with a 60%+ nickle and not address the heavier side. If you can get a big body ILB with above average speed, all the better (there are a few in this draft).
