2 Problems that can be tweaked before the season ends...

Sherrod Martin and Jordan Pugh have played at probably the lowest level of anyone in the NFL this season. This may seem harsh and they've managed a few good plays here and there but overall their play has been particularly abysmal. The angles are terrible (especially Martin) and they flat out cannot tackle.

If you look back, I've actually been a big Pugh and Martin supporter before the season began buts it's clear to me that these two have been the most glaring weaknesses aside of a completely dilapidated LB unit.

Is there really no one better ATM than these two? If they are still constantly tripping over fundamentals at this point, maybe this is where you can start making changes and now.

I wouldn't be so hard on them.

Give the Panthers a legit pass rush and actual LB's who can blitz, and I think you will find our secondary is more than adequate. Making those guys cover the field for 5 seconds on every down is not really putting them in a condition to excel.

I hate hypotheticals but you're right brotha

I really wonder where we would be with Beason

The thing that concerns me though is what happened to Philly's defense the past few seasons. McDermott didn't have good talent at LB there (Stewart Bradley *cough) and his redone defense was atrocious. So I really wanna see what he cancan manage and coach for with legit talent at LB and then we can see what happens with our secondary play. but we really need faster and punchier guys back there.
