Who’s calling the plays on defense? I see Strong with a headset on and a play sheet when we’re on defense. Regardless of the play calling, LB play has been the #1 issue with the defense and why we continually get gashed no matter the opponent. To start the season, we had Magee a 5’10” 210lb converted safety and Sawtelle as the 2 starting LBs. Sawtelle goes down and in comes a converted DE. On Saturday I believe Reaves and #11 the true freshman got the start which may explain Magee’s attitude. We will continue to get run on until personnel improves. Hopefully some of the younger guys develop quickly and they bring a transfer or JUCO for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At game #8, they still look really confused at times and that points to coaching IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some of the earlier games this year, the defense was able to make 2nd half adjustments, but were not able to against UConn or Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am convinced now that until we bring in top notch coordinators we have reached a ceiling with this staff. What you see is what you have. Personnel on either side of the ball won’t matter. What we have is a certain mindset. You had a bunch of NFL talent here last year. Still seeing the same crap. Good enough to beat lesser competition. Stay middle of the road in this conference, bit thats yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s what comes back next year at LB. Now some DEs or DBs could get moved to LB but this is as it is now. We need help at LB!
