Yeah. Its more than one thing. The main thing is that these guys lose their intensity and focus once they get up on teams and then they can't find the switch to turn the lights back on. They are actually better when the opponent is strong enough to keep the game in doubt the entire time. Its weird. They aren't talented enough yet to play sloppy and still play decent.
My issue with them is there are a lot of dumb football players in our back 7. MT, Watts, Ford, and Barron are the only ones seeing the field and even they are going to make mistakes. The others don't seem to understand situational football. 4th and 2 and 9 yard cushion. QB sprinting out right and you bit on the fake headed to the opposite pylon, as if the QB could ever manage to make that throw. Gbenda and whatever the fuck that dude is doing every play. Constantly losing leverage. Secondary is the one area where it is hard to see consistent growth. We've been seeing the same M.O. all season.
