| PRO Pete Golding's former players continued to fiercely defend the ex-Tide DC at the NFL combine.

No doubt the OL has been an issue especially in the run game. With regards to the Defense it has been subpar under Golden. Why? That is someone else to decide like CNS. I will say the most surprising D performance I saw when the D was elite was the NC game against Clemson when we basically shut them down in the 2nd half but then allowed them to get almost 100 snaps in a game and gave up like 40 points. Never thought that D would give up that many. It took a freek QB athelete to do it and an injury to our RB.

I think that was more of Deshaun Watson wearing out our defenders with his scrambling that did it to us more than their scheming.
