This is not an average defense. This is a bottom feeder defense. If it was average they wouldn’t be giving up team scoring highs.

I agree the secondary lacks talent but Guidry is getting worked every week. It’s like we go into the game with no gameplan at all, then Guidry waits until halftime to try this or that.

We keep playing the same guys who are getting exposed.

My guess is Meesh Powell plays more nickel and Patterson plays more safety.

Defense is a firehose!

Any updates to Brown, Alston and Popo..we need them. Play Z, Pruitt moar! Where’s the 5 star DT..

Money I'm talking about UM standards. On Dukes 4 TDs the runner/receiver went into the end zone untouched by a UM defender each time. There were a number of kids on defense loafing. There is no leader on UM's defense.

Mario needs to spend more time with the D. Not from a technical standpoint but from a culture, intensity and getting pHizicle upgrade

Absolutely no disputing it…they have been putrid at best. Time for Guidry and Co. to huddle up and figure out a way to give this side of the ball a fighting chance the rest of the way.
 
I'm happy with the progress we have made and it looks like we might matchup against smu in the acc title game. If we make the playoffs I can't complain. It will show we are on the right path and it will give more elite talent a real reason to come to the U.
 
Do we see Damari Brown coming back late in the year? I realize he isn’t an instant fix but feel like we miss him more than some thought we might/

When we get top recruits everyone gushes about how Mario is the best recruiter in the game ( I agree) but when we lose out on recruits its Addae's fault? Naw I put the poor secondary recruiting on Mario. If I'm going to give him the praise I gotta give him the blame to keep it 💯...only getting Brown and Stafford in that 2023 class has come back to haunt us.

If you’re too dumb to run man or cover 3 I’m not sure what ya do lol. I’ve never seen anything like this in all my years. On the Duke fourth down they had two guys wide open and a third guy about to clear the lb’s face lol. Maybe that run a shell defense 🤷‍♂️ .

But then we’d have to tackle…

I’d say we have a bottom feeder type of back 4. Our LBs are average and our DL is good.
