    Is it just me or do teams see how weak Mckinney, Cunningham, and the others can't cover TEs or receivers?

    I've seen it constantly where a LB is matched up against someone faster than them and we get burned for 15-30 yards. It's insane.

    All that talk about Cunningham being good in coverage during training camp and he’s been getting burned or getting flagged

    Cunningham is a rookie ; I'd give him time before I call him a bust ( in coverage )

    A lot of LB's get burned and offenses target LB's in coverage every time they can provided they have the personnel .

    It's a passing league and teams routinely feast on LB's in coverage .... in other words this is a problem for every team in the league.

    The main takeaway is that it's a passing league and if our offense got with the times we'd be putting up 30+ and some yardage given up by LB's wouldn't be as big of a concern
