Lack of contain

The last 2 weeks I have seen the defense lose contain on the edge. It isn’t one or two players it is many of them on both sides. Anyone have a reason for this and why has in not been fixed? Don’t give me lack of D line depth; this is fundinenal football 101, hold the edge and force the play inside where you have help.

Most of this seemed to be due to Arden Key.

Arden Key couldn't contain my grandma. What a fricking disgrace of a football player he is now.
Just play K'lavon Key is worse than hot garbage

The wide open spread did it to us last night. 5 wides on the field and all the underneath and short screen passes had our DBs on their heels all night.
I don't really know if Syracuse just really came to play or if our defense overall just isn't that good this year. Maybe it's both. But regardless, it's not good when a bad Syracuse team hangs with us in Death Valley after dark. We have lost our mojo.

Eh... yeah, there HAS to be some lack of fundamental issues there. Happens too much.
A) seen several times where contain THINKS he has contain, but is actually out of position. Whether it's too far upfield or they've let a blocker get outside them. That's a fundamentals issue.
B) In some cases I think it's someone just wanting to make a play. Players, not just freshmen, not playing their assignment and playing within the system. That's what happens when you're plugging holes and there's a lack of trust in the other guy doing his job.
C) DL's inability to eat up enough blockers is affecting the LBs here.
It's not a simple case of teaching one or two, especially when (B) is happening.
But it indeed is killing us.

I noticed this too, particularly when they ran reverses. We had nobody setting the edge on the backside.
