I know it's probably one of the harder things to get right on defense, but our linebackers have to get better in pass coverage. In that clip you have Pappoe losing his feet and letting his guy cross his face on a slant. Then KJ just gets burned outside.

I'm not saying they're bad linebackers at all but I remember lots of times last year where they could have gotten off the field in big third downs but gave up chunks of yards with passes on our linebackers.

I mean, KJ is always going to get burned in that situation. No amount of improvement in pass coverage is he not going to get burned in that situation. If the scheme asks him to cover a speed back on a wheel route with no over the top help, then the scheme is flawed, not his ability in pass coverage.
