Quote:Missed tackles.

Missed assignments.

Complete lack of discipline.

Not filling gaps. 

Players trying to compensate for the mistakes of the guy next to them getting out of position. 

Total confusion by the safeties and outside linebackers at times. 

 

 

Those are the things I've seen happening more in these three games than they did in around six games last season.  The regression is somewhat baffling, and while the scheme has weaknesses and the roster lacks speed and/or talent at certain spots, this seems to be primarily lack of execution. 

If the coaches aren't able to get this group to tighten up, we might see some shake-ups among the defensive position coaches during the offseason.
