If you have a consistent slice, you can play the slice and be okay. I feel like that's largely what the Chiefs defenses have done under Reid - understand their biggest issue and then scheme in a way to minimize it as best you can.
But right now there is no consistent slice. They'll slice the first one, hook the second, hit the third too thin and the 4th too thick. Then they'll overthink their mis-hit, select too much club and carry the green. Then the next time they'll try to adjust and use too little club and end up in the front bunker. Finally they'll try to play a slice, it hit razor straight OOB, break their driver in frustration and spend the rest of the day drinking in the cart.....I've said too much....
They're chasing everything right now and trying to correct so many variables simultaneously is just leading to new breakdowns on every play. They don't have a single firm, fixed variable they can try to work around because it's a different failure on every play.
They need at least a single reliable unit out there before they can begin to get a handle on this. The secondary, LBs or DL has to firm up and give them a starting point to address the other weaknesses. When the whole thing is built on shifting sands, there's just not much they can do to fix it.

I just don’t know how you fix this any more this season.
The defensive line has the talent…it’s just underperforming. I guess you hope that they figure it out.
The linebackers might get better with Gay starting over Niemann but even then…if the line is shit…the LBs aren’t going to stay clean.
The DBs are better off than the other two groups if they could get rid of Sorenson and his mistakes.
