Painfully obvious that most people on this board don't understand defensive scheme.
We were AWFUL last year on D. We were exposed by every competent offense we faced.
However, if you think that it was a scheme problem, I ask you to look at Coach D's defenses at Temple.
We were trying to keep it close, force teams to execute and hope we got breaks. Our personnel sucked and we had a coordinator who over did the conservatism because he was terrified.
You CAN'T DO SHI* without a DL. You cannot. We have had garbage on the DL for going on 6 years. Finally, we have some experienced talent.
Do I think Coach D is excellent? No. Do I think he was too conservative last year? **** yes. Will I bail on him if we see the same stuff this year? Yes. But I need to see a DL with at least a pulse before I judge too harshly.
anyone who thinks that the schemes we are running are putting us in a good position to win is an idiot. painfully obvious that we are beaten before the snap on 4 outa 5 plays on defense.
