    It's been almost 4 years to fix our run defense and they still can't figure it out. I think there are 3 things that seem to happen over and over:

    1. defenders can't tackle, the most basic thing in football
    2. defenders can't get off of blockers
    3. defenders out of position

    It's very frustrating to see the same problem every year.

    we definitely need couple of stud ILB in the draft (like Levon Kirkland or Earl Holmes).

    It seems like this defense requires some unicorn ILB or Hybrid Safety that can run with TE’s and WR’s and play the run.

    I’m seriously wondering if we just need to go to a 4-3 because it is impossible enough to find one, let alone two of them.
