One of the things that I hated most the past couple of years is how our DB's laid off the outside receivers on 2nd and long and 3rd and long. Reminded me of the way we played when Bowden was the coach. IMHO, laying off the WR when you are blitzing is counter productive. TOM ALLEN is going to change that immediately and our corners better step up or get humbled. Next, he talks about TTE, Take aways,Tackling,and Effort. Well, we were decent in Take Aways, but we were terrible tacklers and at times poor with our effort. I cannot wait for that LSU game to start the year!

Go Tigers!

I agree, Spud - just hope he can change old habits in time for that LSU game.

I was excited until I took a look at his entire coaching career. Not very impressive but we will see what he's got on Aug 30th 2025

Not everyone can be a successful head coach. Lots of variables there. Seems like Venables has struggled (At Times) as the Head Guy. Doesn't take away from his Defensive Coordinator accolades.

This will probably be his most talented defense he’s ever worked with. I honestly think this year might be the year we turn everything around again.

When blitzing need to press WRs, thought Wes some kind of genius
