We have one inside LB position manned by two players where one player has great difficulty against the run and is below average in pass coverage and another who is better against the run but too slow to cover anyone.  It is just very difficult to overcome when opposing linemen are big and physical and the running backs are quick and strong enough to break back against the grain.  Oregon and ND just exploited the hell out of us.  Since our DB`s and CB`s are playing back, it is even worse.  We have the ultimate bend but not break D until the red zone where the compression of the field helps us.  I wish we could clone Martinez for this game and he could play both positions.
