One change that can be made to the D...

[drewm3i]

Go four man front and get Bain inside--especially on passing downs. Let one of the younger, quicker guys play end with Baron. We are so slow up front. The lack of speed and penetration is killing us. We have no true nose tackle and Bain has gotten big and slow so he needs to move inside.

The 3 man fronts also are not working at all and does Guidry know that you don't have to stunt every play?

I agree. The defense lacks speed up front.

Or have the d ends work contain and on passing situations rush the edge instead of stunting and letting qb run for 13+ on the edge

This. Bain is strong and has great effort, but can't turn the corner on a tackle.

We miss Alston.

Use the BYE week to get the FR and SOPH up to speed.

Don't run Kiko, Harris, Baron, Powell out there ever again.

It literally cannot get worse on D so use this opportunity to evaluate the Underclassmen to see where you have (I'm looking for flashes rather than composed, competent play) to attack the Portal next year.

He's a 3T and should be used as such.

Bain would be much better at DT than messidor. Bain has the strength and power to hold up inside even though he undersized

 

[WesternMDCane]

I’m not sure Bain is 100% recovered from his injury. I get that teams are giving more attention due to last year, I just don’t feel he’s 100%. I could be wrong though.

Everywhere minus #29.

I think you're right: so move him inside.

The d-ends are too slow to play contain. We only have one rangey end.

 

[Cajuncane]

I agree. The defense lacks speed EVERYWHERE

And this is our biggest problem on defense: we are so slow that if we don't execute split-second reads perfectly, we are too slow to recover.

Been like that forever…everyone talks about Miami speed but we haven’t been a fast team for 10-15 years..at least not team wise..

One thing that would really help is if they get aligned and have a modicum of an idea of what to do with plays on the perimeter. Has any team been so bad at defending counters two consecutive years? And, yes, I realize we play at least three guys who cannot in any way tackle in space. So, yeah, why?

 

[rok]

We have an athletic DE in Mesidor but insist on playing him inside.

 

[Squid Bumciorek]

One change- outsource defensive coordinator to call center in Pakistan.

 

[hotshot]

How can we be so god-awful against the run? Gave up 271 yds on the ground to a mediocre team. GT's defense, on the other hand harassed Ward all day with well schemed and disguised blitzes,

No. This is 5th grade level terrible. And we are outmatched upon alignmight. We have no one in position to cover the edge. Yet it’s the only place teams attack us. It’s malpractice

 

[HarborCane]

Bain has an awkward frame. It’s a mix between dt and de. In this defense with these lbs he should play inside. Let the nfl figure it out later but they are losing interest with each game he does nothing
