Either way, something has to change. What was supposed to be our strength is now our weakness.

I wonder if part of the issue with lack of plays from the ILBs is due to the new scheme? I haven't been watching the DL closely enough to parse out this out yet. But Haslett's scheme kept the ILB clean for the most part. Especially Keenan. The DL took the doubles up front and kept Keenan clean to run and hit.

Barry's scheme of penetration upfront could be leaving the ILBs took fight through more blocks.
When it comes to the OLB I think Ryan isn't 100% yet and we still lack that outside speed rusher. I would love to see Jeffcoat.

I not so sure Barry wants Knighton and Baker trying to penetrate as much as they are trying to.

The Atlanta game in particular.

Against the Jets they did seem to try and take up blockers and not try to slip past them. Apparently Knighton wasnt too happy with the ILBs after the Jets game bc he was doing his job but Riley and Robinson werent plugging the gaps like they were supposed to. that 51 yard run by Ivory was like a benny hill show for Riley.

^^ 51 yd Ivory run starts at the 0:16 second mark. How the hell do you over pursue on an inside the tackles run? incompetence is mind blowing.
