[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 756155, member: 2299"] Sorry, I was asking from a retrospective view instead. Meaning the that any rs. jr or seniors (or 100th year super seniors) have played under 3 different defensive staffs. That dynamic by itself is already not good. Then you have the dynamic where the players who should be leading the defense have 3 different staffs so which of those coaching has the most effect? Probably depends on the player to be honest. Regardless, I think the issues this year aren't really that hard to see. We have a weak front 7. Our DEs are okay, but our DT play and LB plays is really bad. I think there are a couple of dynamics at play for why we are struggling so much. One is our DL can't really accomplish much just by 4. They aren't generating consistent pressure just with 4 nor are they being able to stop the inside run with just 4. So we are forced to use LBs both to stop the run and try to generate pressure. That leave more opportunities open underneath, and I think because of that our DBs are trying to cheat too often to cover for that and getting punished because of it. Now that isn't the only dynamic at play, and our DEs have shown flashes of being able to generate some pressure on their own just not enough but I think it's a big cause of our struggles. We also have just more basic issues like missing tackles or flowing too far in a direction that takes us out position to make a play. Plus at this point there has to just be a mental component after struggling for so long. [/QUOTE]
