Yes. We are regressing and even with the assets devoted to defense, we are inept. McD needs to give up that side of the operation to an accomplished coordinator after the season and not meddle with their coaching.
We’re extremely deep with mid-level talent at this position. We’re a contending team and the coaches are seeing that the kid is raw and in need of coaching (my opinion here). The practice reps are important but also few and far between during a season. Don’t overthink being inactive - we don’t need him to produce this season.
