Probably some of both. Wade might not be utilizing all of them properly, but some of their production isn't matching their credentials.
I think some of this "talent" is vastly overrated.
I think we are seeing the results of what talent does for this defense ....we lost Talib and it showed, he comes back and it shows.
Talent is important
Wade has run this defense and has ran it well for years.... it's the talent that dictates how well it is ran.
I think Wades defense will gladly give up the run to protect against the explosive plays....especially when he knows he has on offense behind him that can put up 20 in their sleep.
With Talib in the lineup I believe the Rams defense is averaging about 16-17 PPG That is pretty good in this day and age of offensive football.
I'm not as quick to put this blame on Wade.... I think he's still trying to build his defense to what he wants. It's not completely done yet.
