Intermediate routes.  They showed up late in last weeks game and changed the outcome quickly.

Turnovers in an evenly matched game are always the key

For Navy, we should run the old 46 defense of Buddy Ryan.

I like the idea of 5 down defensive lineman but what we really need is to recruit more big DEs.  Eric Mayes was supposed to be that and now hes an injury away from starting OT.  We are undersized and our smaller DEs arent getting pressure for some reason.  Need Tramal Ivy.

Again, I think we should run the 46 defense

We are using a "mush rush" on the edges to not allow running lanes for the QB. This is very common in base nickel/match schemes that preach bend but don't break. 

Also, the 5 down lineman wouldn't really help as a base front, there are definitely some times we could use it

Our mush rush cant set the edges properly with our undersized/young/weak defensive ends.  Plus teams have seemed to be one step ahead of Auggie like they've been watching too much film on him.  Having said that I hope he figures it out because I think hes the best option.

Whenever you have as pourous of a run defense as we do, there are generally a multitude of problems. Setting the edge (more so to VJ side) hasn't been perfect. The bigger problem has been when teams go trips and spread one of the LBs out to the slot, we are leaving 5 in the box. Also, LBs are filling the wrong gaps consistently allowing for chunk yardage. If you go back and watch the TD run up the middle against ECU the drive they finished by running the same play 3 times in a row (late 3rd I believe) auggie was the only LB in position pre play. To make it even worse, he stunted outside the left tackle leaving no one to make a play after the rb broke the LOS.
