If it works out this way and was a wake up call and suddenly stuff starts clicking… great. We’re going into a bye and they can use it to fix things and let the loss marinate and get ****ed off. It could play out like that.
Maybe it does for the offense but I’m 1000% convinced there’s absolutely nothing you can do for the defense.
I was hopeful, a unit with seniors and on the cusp of drafted players, would see what was happening this season and rise to the occasion. At least get some "lets get your job done done" type football from old-enough-to-play-in-the-NFL types on defense.
What player doesn't know its lock-in time when you're team is 9-0 and you've been flying close to the sun?
At some point get their heads out of their *** as there is enough on defense to do that.
To see the unit perpetually confused by concepts anyone who plays CFB25 or Madden understands and would be able to identify is perplexing. Entire units at all three levels of defense that react well after a player crosses their face. The safeties are constantly cheating. I don't know the playcall or the pre-snap stuff they coach there, but I know a DB is cheating when I see it this obvious. They are slow, and put themselves out of position all year and the angles they take can't possibly be taught by these professionals...but perhaps it is because they certainly aren't correcting this when they get on the field. Harris and Powell might as well stand still.
Id wager we have to play Kiko in uncomfortable positions because of the safeties. There is no way we should be this empty in the middle of the field on obvious run situations. Kiko coming downhill...I've seen it before...its not this bad, as a matter of fact him coming downhill is what gets him into the NFL. But this year, he's out there trying to chase people...many times because he's out of position pre-snap because no one's moving when someone is in motion passing their face.
Rant over...but I agree...yeah, these boys are hopeless right now.
Doesn't help the DL is a bunch of nothing right now and can't fill their lanes and the edge boys are getting cement footed by Broken Haynes King smh.
