Basically, it's a yes, it blows/sucks ass, or a no, it's just mis-used players in wrong positions/etc. etc. etc.

First of all, we already aren't in the right scheme.
I think we should play a standard 4-3 with more of a Cover 1 look that brings pressure from the backers rather than the front 4.
I think that Hali and McBride are servicable pieces on the left side in such a defense.
I think Dorsey can be an assist man for play makers. I think that Tyler should spell Dorsey and not start alongside him.
Mecca's opinion that we need a larger DT alongside Dorsey has merit, especially on the first two downs.
DJ is a downhill linebacker with speed. I don't like him as a coverage backer, and I hate him as a mike. He should be used the way he was used as a rookie. They should blitz him all over the place.
Williams is a good LB for a strong nickel, IMO.
We have pieces, we just need a playmaker at RDE. I don't want Peppers, but I'd be ok with us going after Suggs (but that probably won't happen).
I think the main problem is that the fans just aren't patient with the players. You can be impatient with the coaches and management, but these players need time, especially when the LB and DL coaches are horrendous.
