Yeah..we know the Defense is broken. Glad BV could diagnose that for us...now do what we pay you hundreds of thousands of dollars to do. FIX IT!!

AGAIN, the LB's played like they were linemen--TOO CLOSE
Sep 9, 2012, 2:03 PM

If the runner broke line of scrimmage, there was no one but a CB or Safety to chase them down.

And sorry to say, if Xavier Brewer is the only man between the runner and end zone, they are going to score every time. He takes the worst angles I have ever seen and looks like he is running in quicksand.

I hate to criticize players, but the honest truth is that safety is not the position for Brewer. He should never be on the field playing safety.

Their QB might have been the worst D-1 QB I have ever seen. We need to start by knocking people out or be prepared to score 50 every week to win

Still gotta believe there needs to be "some" personal changes on the defense. Not saying that fixes everything, but ya gotta try something. First, DL....
Start Watson and Jerrett at tackle, but Reader needs to get LOT MORE pt. Next... Start Wright at Mike LB ahead of Anthony(hes not ready) And Christain,move him the 2nd string. Start Hall ahead of Brewer and maybe even try Blanks at corner. Anyways, just saying.

Defense a disappointment. Again. Getting gashed between the tackles by Ball state is not a good sign. Hope they get it fixed quick.

I assume you are kidding. Run defence is just plain soft, especially up front. Pass defence pedestrian---against Ball State. Not particularly encouraging to see Auburn exposed. Not looking forward to us playing against a quality quarterback. Maybe they can get it fixed or maybe the talent just isn't there. I hope not, but we may be in for a bad, bad day in Tallahassee.

Yeah, I heard that too last season---before the Orange Bowl. But, who dares go against the party line and speak realistically---lest you be deemed a "dumper." Boy, the thought police are rampant here. Okay I give up. Our defence is awesome---better than Alabama's. Does that satisfy you Vladimir (as in Putin)?

Defense dont seem to like contact
Sep 9, 2012, 5:00 PM

They have a grab mentality,when it should be drill and grab(ie Travis Blanks was one trying to drill every player he could) our other players should play with the same passion.

Find it refreshing that instead of making excuses he admits that the D needs to get better. I don't see any complacency on his part.

Steele's favorite line last year was "I'll get it fixed"
He just very rarely came through on that promise.

We may be in trouble if we hear "that's on me". As in "The defense didn't play well. That's on me".
Another Steele favorite.

I know our defense did not play very well, but it is important to know that we did not blitz very much. It's early in the season and we don't want to show our defensive scheme to Florida State. It gives them film to watch and plan against. Therefore, we ran basic blitzes so we can hide particular schemes against stronger opponents like FSU. However, we need to be more physical.

if you have 5 rats in your house, and you only remove 1, does that fix your problem?

Where are our LB?
Sep 9, 2012, 9:19 PM
|
|
Two recruiting classes ago, we had 4 of the best LB in the country sign. Anthony is the only one who got any playing time even in a blowout win (Goodson did play a few snaps and I know Steward has been hurt). Where are they when we need them?! Also, where is Cortez Davis? I'm impressed with Blanks.

our offense doesn't avg 40 ppg (for a whole season)
we're in for a long season--thats if the Defense doesn't improve. Right now, our "D" isn't even,AVG!

even the starters aren't producing. And alot of it seems coaching related. Players seem clueless at where they need to be.There are problems at LINEBACKER, like U said. DL and the secondary. And absolutely no improvement from week 1 to 2...IMHO.

i take issue anytime the other team scores. you're not at oklahoma any more, no more 55-25 games. shed blockers. each defensive player has an area or man to defend. be hostile, be mobile, be agile. you will get better; start taking some nasty pills.
