re: I BELIEVE there is HOPE for DEFENSE - how would you fix?

We don’t need to fix the defense. The defense is fine where they’re at because they play really good in the first half, and by halftime, we’re usually up by double digits and we don’t need to our defense to play lights out in the second half (not saying that they don’t try in the second half, they’re just isn’t as much pressure on them in the second half).
We could definitely fix some little things though, like better angles, tackling, getting more pressure on the QB, and stuff like that

Practice assignments without the ball in the offenses hands or on the field. Make them work to fill their assigned gaps and to get lined up correctly.

But I would bet we are coaching in a panic, throwing too much at the kids and over preparing them.
I know it sounds crazy but I actually thought that is what hurt Miles and his offense, I think he over complicated things in an effort to fix, so as the time came execution went to shite (yes even on running plays you have to execute)
I think we should go back to basic assignment defense, contain on the edges, fill the gaps with Line backers and quit allowing ball carriers to get 6-10 yards down the field and depend on an open field tackle from one of our DBs.
If we are burnt, so be it, but quit just giving it to them.

I think they just need to focus more on maintaining discipline, do your job and don't chase where you think the ball is going, if your job is containment, or cut-back lanes. When guys are leaving their responsibility to chase the ball, it's hard to scheme blitzes without getting torched. Talent is certainly there, but I believe lack of discipline during games has been the issue. The same as poor tackling, diving at the runners' feet or just hitting without wrapping up. I believe it comes from over zealousness, losing discipline.
