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.
