The approach to the IDL is a failure, and they are getting jack squat from the Artmstead signing and IDL draft picks. 

If they'd chosen the new safety more wisely and done the same for their IDL, then maybe this new scheme doesn't appear to be a total failure, but as of now... you gotta' feel like it's the wrong Jimmies and Joes AND the wrong X's and O's.

Maason Smith and Jefferson hasn't worked out so far? Man... Who would have thought a Baalke reach wouldn't be able to contribute.....

To be fair, we have no real idea if they are any good or not with the number of snaps they've played, but we can say they aren't making any impact and one of them was an early pick, so... Not a good start at the very least. 

There does seem to be a clear disconnect between FO and HC on how to incorporate rookies. That's a problem.
