[QUOTE="Sideways, post: 337494, member: 2451"] Well, I have been and to a certain extent continue to be a CTR apologist. He loves Georgia Tech, he is an excellent recruiter and a credit to the Institute in so many ways. BUT I am tired of defending his style of defense. Let's look at Alabama. They come all the time from every direction. They use creative blitzes to make quarterbacks hesitate and when that happens they are dead. Alabama comes and keeps on coming until you make them stop. I am not saying we can do what they can given the talent differential but we can and must be more creative in applying pressure and just let our guys play. Step had perfect coverage on that touchdown pass in the endzone but just did not turn around. It is beyond tiresome to see the same results on defense year after year. The difference between the truly elite teams in college football and the also rans lies on the defensive side of the ball. Seemingly everyone has play makers and gunslingers galore on offense and can score in bunches (well almost everyone Florida is a notable exception) but few teams really play sound pressure defense with good tackling and use of mix and match schemes in the secondary. If we want to win divisional and conference championships while being a perennial top 20 or so program then the defense (and the special teams) must improve markedly. [/QUOTE]
