I agree with the CB"s lack of skills, aside from poor tackling, they might be lacking in speed and position which I feel is important also. IMO Also his opponents TE torched him, on the right side, which leads me to believe that he needs to change his LOLB (Rick Ellis). I'm pretty sure that the OLB's cover the TE's.

OLB's get the TE's in my opinion.

SS aids run defence.

one easy process would be to see who missed tackles on the TE's touchdowns. middle linebacker, left outside linebacker, left free safety, and left corner back.

none were involved in every time, so by my reasoning it isn't a man defense the defense is zone, and the missed tackles are the players with zones in which the TE went through.

would that make sense?

not coincidence. you put you best players in the most attacked zones. makes a lot of sense.
