Bit worrisome: This D front has created fewest sacks since 2013 squad!

Dang..

We've definitely been able to mask some pass rushing

deficiencies (relative to how spoiled we've become with D-line dominance) with good blitzes.

The Natty would be a great time for XT to step up and play up to his potential!!

Getting pressure in different ways this year vs other years

We had a gap in re-stocking the big bodied defensive tackles


Dec 30, 2019, 4:58 PM

They were counting on Belk to be one, and he probably would have been had he applied himself. USuC stayed in his ear the whole time that he was at Clemson, and he believed the lies as many others have regretfully done, and transferred there. Darnell Jeffries was expected to beef up and contribute, but he has/had health issues and actually lost weight after he came to Clemson. Thank goodness Tyler Davis has come in and made a major contribution as a true freshman despite being on the shorter side. Stephon Wynn, a Clemson legacy recruit from nearby Anderson, could have also helped fill the void, but went to Bama to play DE, but is at tackle as expected, and what we recruited him as. Thank goodness for Breese, Capehart, and Williams in the incoming class.

Not really when you consider the personnel changes. ***

We play a 3 man front primarily


Dec 30, 2019, 5:19 PM

Those 3 guys are not asked to pressure the QB near as much as from a 4 man front. They have different responsibilities. I believe we had more sacks than last year. Who cares where they come from?

I noticed that as well as the dip in tackles for loss.


Dec 30, 2019, 5:30 PM

However:

- We have the best turnover margin ever at the end of the season under Dabo's time here.
- We have the lowest yardage per game under Dabo.
- Lowest points per game under Dabo.

I sure wish we had a little more depth and top end talent on the D Line, but, BV is playing to our strengths, and something like tackles for loss and sacks numbers would go down some.

Don't forget the #1 D for fewest passing yards allowed per game.

Geez Bill, sit back smoke a joint and chill a bit.

You are always worried and you are always wrong.

Part of that comes from running a 3 man front so much***
