[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 603399, member: 282"] The pass rush (and overall defense) has been surprising for a while. We’ve had players come in at the front 7 and shown flashes as Freshmen and Sophomores, and then not progress. If you put a lot of faith in recruiting rankings, we’ve been recruiting in the 50’s and 60’s, but our defense has underperformed that. I don’t think it’s just one obvious answer. We’ve seen the slo-mo game tape. Our DBs performed well with Kelly here. They’ve gotten worse about giving up 3rd and 12 since he left. We’ve watched linebackers get caught in the wash for years, or two of them run to the same spot, or run into a block. We’ve seen DL not rotated and get worn out. Some of it is coaching, some of it is training. Moving someone like Lee over to DL should help. Giving up a few less 3rd and longs alone will help these guys out. Another thing: If the fans in the stands think that the opposition is going to convert a 3rd and long, chances are the defenders have the same thing coming into their heads. Belief isn’t enough on it’s own, but if the coaches get some enthusiasm and push away some of the doubts, then that might be a boost for the guys. I’ve heard a lot of NFL CBs say that a short memory is their best asset, and we might need that too. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
