on Roof. I have been very critical of the overall defense playing a soft and back pedal defense. We will not know if that is all on Roof or possibly the HC. That issue has been fixed.
Also we sure lost a lot of DL talent this last off season - was that a good thing - at first it appeared to be a disaster. Now with the positive lockeroom effect in full force it looks like we have a good foundation on which to build. Could coach have called out some guys on notice.
What i do know is all last year and all this year the defense plays better and more effectively as the game goes on which I feel is good in game coaching.
Further - this whole year def coach has regularly played true freshman in spurts. At first in less critical spots - and now in critical spots - Antonio Simmons contributed well in the Clemson game, as have the freshman db
But what really gets me excited. He is letting the defense form up around tough, very quick somewhat undersized line backer. Kind of reminds me of a mlb we had in the early 80's. Now we only need a bell cow on the edge. Could that be JDH or some of the incoming freshmen? could be the foundation year for the new black watch defense and the next few years could be special.
