[QUOTE="redmule, post: 74290, member: 1338"] Didn't really expect the D to be in mid-season form the first game. Was disappointed that some players with a lot of games under their belt had subpar performances. Before I write off the new guys, though, I have to look back at the first games of some of our better players. We saw a lot of improvement last year from the first game to the last game for Gotsis, Davis, White, even Jemea Thomas stepped it up as the year went on. Think Smelter, Godhigh, and Braun on Offense. My impression Saturday was that the Defense was playing tentatively. Hopefully that was first game jitters against an option team. I think it showed in the tackling and like Boomer said being a 1/4 step late to the hole. If, if, if we stay reasonably healthy, get some experience and improvement in a couple of DLs, let Johnson, Golden, and Green knock off the rust, and tackle some better, we should have a defense good enough to win us most games. I know other teams will improve also, but not all. Some will take a step back as the year goes on due to injuries, gut wrenching losses, untimely penalties and turnovers. When you play a team makes a lot of difference. Look at Miami and VT ast year. It is not a one dimensional game. The Offense is gonna hurt some people this year. We have seen games in the past where it clicked, and there was just no stopping it. VL seemed to get worse (at the least he didn't improve) as the year went on. I think JT's second half Saturday was as good as any half VL played last year. Improvement at QB as the year unfolds will have more leverage on wins than improvement on the DL as badly as we need it. Shoot outs are fine with me as long as we win. The game the last time we went to Chapel Hill was one of the more enjoyable for me in the last few years.
