Attack on defense and let the chips fall where they may. A good QB with time will pick any zone apart.

I don't know...

It looked like the same defense I saw all preseason. it was impressing me then and not impressing me now.

hagan714 · 09-08-2014, 10:47 AM

the concept of tackling first and stripping second just does not seem to work

kinda played soft? i want to say cover 2 but it looked more like a cloud 3 to me. ate us up in the middle of the field. punched right in the teeth. when did we get so scared of Atlanta?

Tackle first dammit!

dizzle88 · 09-09-2014, 03:03 PM

Kenny vaccaro missed 6 tackles himself
He only missed 3 all of last season

Go back to fundamentally sound football, I'd rather not have turnovers if our D is going to play like that trying to accomplish it

I'm pretty certain the defensive coaches went back to 'basics' last practice starting with the Oklahoma drill.

I just don't see our defense repeating that pathetic performance again on Sunday.

There is NO substitute for good fundamentals.
Wrap-and-roll will never go out of style.
Even the beastiest go down when you roll those ankles.
Good tackling wins that game Sunday.
Front seven had 1-zies and 2-zies on the stat sheet.
It has got to get beter than that.
34 points SHOULD have been enough to beat anybody.
I just hope that was a fluke.
