Players or coaches ? Seems like a disconnect here. Chicken or the egg ? You need some talent to have a good defense and coaching will make them better. I don't think we lack talent on our defense. We don't have 11 true freshmen out there. Do we have NFL talent out there ? None that I can see. Coaches draw up plays every day for every down. Does failure mean not executing those plays fall on the players or the coaches ? If you don't teach your players how to do the basics no team will have success and I feel it goes back to that. Not the plays called but the failure of the coaching staff to teach them how to play. Defense tends to be more emotional and I see a major lack of that this year compared to last year. Just a message to the coaches.....ramp it up guys
