- lack of talent in the secondary.
- use of personnel.
- We let Baron not set the edge for like 5 weeks before making a change there. No way they didn't see this in practice before the season too. What hurts the most is not making the change during the GA tech game when we needed it most.
-Jaden Harris should have never started (Also no way he wasn't making these mistakes in practice as well). If we're going to have terrible mistakes and angles every play, then play someone young. They'll grow as the season goes on.
- Our Mike is not a good player. We know he's a limited athlete. But he also misses tackles in the hole consistently. He's best when they blitz him. Which means he should have a limited role and a younger player should play most downs. If they make mistakes, so be it.
- scheme
- To neutralize our pass rush, teams would get the ball out quick and we made it easy for them to do so. Nothing easier than seeing man coverage and a matchup you like pre-snap and immediately targeting that person. Personally, I think we needed to play a lot more Cover 2/3 this year. We play a ton of man and we simply don't have the players to do it. Although certain situations you have to play man and it is what it is.
- Playing man a ton on 3rd and longs also creates opportunities for qbs to scramble when everyones backs are turned. if you do that then your pass rush better have some gap integrity.
- Our stunts never got home and completely killed our pass rush lanes. Our hands never got up either at the line (which i think is related). Limited batted balls all season.
- fundamentals
- not knowing your alignment and constant confusion about assignments and what to check in to once the offense gets set. if you don't know what to do, you'll play slower than you are. And everyone watching knows some guys in the back seven don't have the best hips as it is
- every time a team goes jumbo, we're out leveraged presnap. It's comically bad.
