[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 339197, member: 282"] It looks like there are two different conversations happening in this thread. (1) Is the defense better/why isn't the defense better and (2) the defense cost us the Tennessee game. For (2), how do you portion out responsibilities? You could count out the mistakes on offense, special teams, and defense. If you do that, offense might actually get a bigger share, because they had more plays, so they had more opportunities for mistakes. There are the obvious two fumbles, and the downfield block in the back, but there are also a couple of missed reads, missed blocks, dropped passes, etc. that underrates how bad our kicking game was, both on kickoffs and 0/2 on makeable field goals. On defense, we can find bad tackling, bad first steps, lining up too far back or aligned wrong, not turning around for an interception and getting a penalty instead. I can also see a ton of good hits and tackles in the first half. One thing I've seen over the past decade is we take a timeout to prevent mistakes on offense, but almost never on defense. We should be able to see we're set up wrong on defense and correct that, but when do we? I think that's on CPJ. If I was going to split up responsibility for losing , I'd say 30% offense, 35% special teams, and 35% defense. If I watched again, I could probably bump it towards any phase depending on what yardstick I chose. And if I added coaching in, I could question coaching decisions by any of them. For (1), think IBeeBallin's film breakdown is a better place to see what needs to improve on the defense. Yo can see we have enough talent to play, but we make mad tackles, line up out of position, take some bad angles, and play soft coverages sometimes. We are getting penetration, but we had some plays that should have gone for losses or nothing that went for medium to large gains. There's potential, even if we just improve our tackling.
