You can't expect a DB to cover those routes when he's 5-6 yards back off the receiver because if a receiver cuts inside immediately off the LOS then that DB is already fricked.
We are sending 4, we have LBs to cut the quick underneath stuff. We are suffering from terrible DE and LB play more than we are suffering from poor defensive backfield play in my opinion.

Chaisson got absolutely mauled against Texas! That fricking OT ended up doing him in because he pulled his arse to the ground so many damn times!

I agree that the LBs should be cutting off the quick underneath routes but have they? Go watch the Texas game again and tell me how well our LBs do at cutting off that quick underneath passing game. Take a look at Duvernay's stat line from that night and let me know how well they cut it off.

ETA: I'm not saying our DB's are playing badly. I'm just saying that they are being put in bad positions that doesn't allow them consistently make plays on the ball.
