The problems, in order of likelihood of correction

The Unfixable:
- The DBs. They are what they are. They aren't going to ever be good enough to live up to the DBU standard. This makes it almost impossible to consistently play man coverage, which is extremely unfuriating... The good news? You don't play another WR as talented as FSU until the A&M game. They have 3 guys just as good as FSU.

The Likely Won't Get Fixed:
- The run game. John Emery will be a good addition, but he's not going to all of a sudden make our run game Uber productive. The biggest problem is the play calling and Denbrocks inability to implement creativity into the run game. We'll have success against inferior teams, we'll struggle against the good ones. This could be fixed if our OC decided to change up his scheme, but he won't.
- The vertical threat. At this point we have to just accept that we will never have a vertical component to this offense. It's unbelievable that this isn't a focus, but at this point it's just never going to happen unless JD gets hurt and Nuss gets in.

The Should Get Fixed:
- The pass rush. You are adding in Maason Smith, A dominant interior force. I also believe the coaches are smart enough to reinvent Perkins role and bring him back into the fold as a pass rusher. I expect our pass rush to be near the best in the nation going forward.
- The WRs. They are talented enough to be really good in this league. I expect them to get better, this seems like more of an anomaly than the rule (except for Lacy, who's drops are becoming consistent).

We can still be a really good team. Wouldnt shock me if we only dropped one more the rest of the regular season... Unfortunately the coaching staff's incompetence, the DBs, and JDs refusal to throw the ball downfield will prevent us from contending.
