Glaring issue on defense

Do you think we traded the wrong LB? Flagg was flawed and not as athletic but super high iq. Two main issues to me this year are: no high iq lb / leader getting us aligned. No quality safety play to mask our deficiencies at lb and corner.. I’ll hang up and listen, much appreciated as always.

Not really, neither one are really all that good.

My only guess is maybe they thought some of the younger LB's would be more ready to play a lot earlier this season so they didn't really pursue LB too heavy in the Portal. But they did know it was a need hence why they brought in Alderman.

But idk, only HC & DC can answer those questions.

appreciate you. Guess we need to drop 50 burgers from here on out. Good news is, that’s not a reach!

If Guidry comes up with another sh1thole D plan versus Wake, even if we scrape thru with a win...he needs to be fired before the next game. Let JT take over interim with help from outside sources
 
The talent on defense was better in 2023. There was a weird mass exodus after the season, and one must wonder if Guidry had anything to do with it.
 
Is Mario done with his 3rd season yet? No? Sorry he couldn't capitalize on all of Manny's recruits and evals. Most of the Diaz recruits jumped ship. So now we have got players with a couple of years removed from high school and portal players.

You're right, but Mario also deserves blame for not getting talent out of the portal in the back end.

I personally believe making huge changes on D is just going to cause another unit to be taken advantage of it. We've tried plugging holes on a sinking ship all year between stunting, not calling blitzes, running less man at times, etc.

At this point, try to fix the communication/alignment issues a much as you can and hope for the best.
