If the team goes 5 wides, I don't think they'll have a RB in the backfield.

If a team goes 5 wide then there is no rb either. And in a 5 wr set where we are nickel or dime Cushing will not be manned up with a wr. On the Graham catch, Cushing is playing under him and there are two safeties over who are late.
Cushing is clearly our best LB in Coverage. I don't know of a 7 db defense or a defense with no LB. And I would be looking at our safeties and cbs as culprits in coverage. As I said, Graham beat them worse and more often so I am not understanding how you are fixating on the non existent 7 db defense as the answer for a team with terrible secondary depth.
