The Defense is horrible

[mattegunz]

All this talk about our O being so bad has got me wondering why so few people are talking about how bad the D is playing.  I know most people will say OH we're young there, which is true, but that doesn't make up for the fact that we suck on D right now.  

Dline play has been pitiful.  We were blizting against UC and still couldnt hit the QB.  UAB was right, we do need to hit the weights.

LB are athletic and fast, but have been a disapointment so far this year.  NO true leader out there and a lot of overpursuing.  

Secondary has not stepped up.  Camon never wraps up and overpursues a lot.  He is a senior so no excuse there.  Verpeale is flat out too small right now.  At 180 he isnt big enough yet.  Jenkins actually played well at UC and got screwed on the 2 pass interference calls.  

Can't wait to have Johnnie and Tim Jones back next year.  Hopefully the strength coach can put some beef on the D.

With the new facility, these men should be like the Hulk!!! I guess we should have stuck to the trailers.

This is so true.  He thinks he can just hit everyone and they will go down.  He has no concept of "stick and wrap."

if the young d is not better next year then i will jump on this band wagon.

so far this year they have improved as the year has progressed.

no pressure on the qb has been a disturbing trend, i thought we had gotten all this talent on the d line and this would have shielded the young db's by bringing constant disruption in the backfield but that has not happened.

kobel was to be a monster this year...but nothing
