I don't get the feeling that JDR is getting the personnel or freedom of scheme that he wants, but regardless it is the coaches job to get the guys he has working within their limits. I keep hearing his system is complex, obviously too complex for the players he has. He has more than enough experience to have realised that by now. Many of the best defences in the league have their share of low round draft picks and UDFA, but they have been coached to what their responsibilities are and well placed within their limited skill set to hold those responsibilities down so there are no gaping holes left to run through
I have been avoiding watching the games live, life is too short and nerves too fragile, in hope that I could check out the result afterwards and be pleasantly surprised or at least reassured I didn't just waste another 3 hours of my life on this team. Getting hard to be enthused by them.

Yup, what they did was draft Davis to play MLB…he failed so they moved Holcomb to middle and put Davis in his spot. So Holcomb is out of his best use.
If you make a mistake in drafting Davis you shouldn’t exacerbate it…but they have by square holing Holcomb
Sign a real MLB Martinez…cut Mayo and let Davis and Holcomb play the other LB spots.
