I'm willing to give this defensive coaching staff more time, but so far they're not living up to the expectations.

He already has more sacks this year than last year, and he's on pace to have more tackles, more tackles for loss, and more QB hits. He's not great in coverage, but that has never been his strength as far as I know. That said, he is almost 10% better this year in pass coverage than last year. He is what he is, and I'm not sure it's worse this year than last year. Either way, the position needs to be upgraded.

Fair enough. Maybe stats don't back up my feeling, and maybe I'm dead end wrong on this.
I just had a feeling last year seeing a bad ass mofo flashing up a lot in the backfield, and making some decent plays in coverage, and this year he looks lost and out of place, and he seems to be in the back field only when sent blitzing.
