If we are in a normal nickel, Berry comes up and knocks the shit out of Spiller. Instead he is stuck in the wash trying to blitz the QB.
What is DJ even doing on that play? How is he supposed to find a hole with two down linemen? i don't think he played it completely right but, the deck was already stacked against him. It's a bad defensive formation.
I have no idea why Romeo is changing what worked fairly well for the last two years.

I think you're right on the 2-down linemen. I don't know how you can say DJ blew it. That middle gap is exposed and I'd rather seal that hole up than the cutback lane. In this case, we're not playing 2-gap. I don't know what the **** we're playing, because we don't have nearly enough linemen occupying gaps.
This is why I don't blame DJ that much for the problems we have right now. When the D-linemen don't occupy their gaps, it's hard for him to figure out where he needs to be. He had to occupy a gap and because he chose the gap he did, he left another gap exposed.
