We need to talk about this defense

Our safeties are not performing and our front seven are not finishing plays. That equates to giving up a lot of third and longs.

I don't see a ready-made solution for safety and you can tell the front seven that winning the initial battle isn't enough but I don't think that is going to be very helpful.
Start the rookie at safety. He played well when Mayes wasn’t avail. Mayes did not play well against Vikes.
