Oh yeah.. he is good.. but an enemy now..
I misinterpreted your post then. I thought you were saying the only issue on this team were the CBs.
It's all good. Now that you brought up the LB play. They played better than last week but not by much. They were too tentative and I noticed several times they just stood there and watch a player run pass by them.
We get flashes of brilliance at times from all 3 levels. Problem is, we are only getting flashes!!! We never have all 3 levels clicking at the same time. We’ll get a good play from the front, but then we follow it up with a LB totally getting lost or a DB blowing a coverage the very next snap. It is mind numbing!!!
Similar to how O’Briens’ offense at Bama seemed to thrive much better in 2 minute/hurry up mode, the defense this season seems to thrive more when they play aggressive with a more “do or die” play calling mentality. There’s gotta be a fine line there in finding some balance IMO, but I’d like to see them lean into the aggressive side a little more going forward. Force the issue a bit more.
Agreed
They should sponsor our 3rd downs.
I watched the game again this morning and it was actually worse than I remember it yesterday.
Defense
34 should be starting instead of 11 or they should swap positions. We can't have success with 11 and 0 on the field at the same time! 15 is better than both 11 and 0 but he can't tackle either but does move around better and is quicker to fill a hole. He has instincts of a ILB while the other two just react slowly and then get caught in all the wash.
Nick and staff shit the bed recruiting ILBers these last 2-3 years. Kalen will have to hit the portal to try and resolve for 2025.
And Downs lost last night…
Um, ok. Ohio State lost so that means Downs sucks... and an All-American level safety wouldn't make a difference because our existing below average safeties don't suck as bad as our DBs. Gotcha.
I never said anything about Downs being a bad player. I'm not sure where you get that idea from. All I said was "'m not sure if Downs would've helped yesterday, because he's a safety, not a CB.
I"m sorry what? Are you serious? Who has been giving up big plays? It has been the freshmen.
show me an example.
Keeley getting nod.
