[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 963239, member: 274"] I'll throw this out there, at the risk of being derided as a pessimist. A reporter asked and Clawson confirmed out loud one thing I observed. Griffis held on to the ball pretty long. His internal clock, or lack thereof, is in part what enabled our defense to get to him. I'll add to that, if Griffis was our QB, there would be a few pitchforks out due to his lack of pocket awareness and lack of ball security. That last INT was a poor decision (forced out of the pocket by our pressure, however). We aren't far removed from having a QB1 who had similar challenges. If we were WF fans, I think a significant portion of the postgame narrative would be our "self-inflicted wounds". As a GT fan and observer of the QBs in the top half of the conference, including our own QB1, I don't expect opposing offenses to allow us to get home at anywhere near that frequency. In prior weeks we saw how opposing offenses got the ball out quick. I expect more of that in future weeks. With all that said, there were things that we did that I think bode well and are repeatable in future weeks. Our DL drove the tackles back at times. Maybe WF's OL isn't the best, but in years past it hasn't mattered re: our lack of production. Secondly, our DL and blitzers maintained their rush lanes much better than in most prior performances. While at times I think a more capable QB would have escaped earlier and easier, we made it much more difficult this week by maintaining lane integrity and collapsing the pocket in a coordinated way. That's huge and we haven't seen much of that. Not sure we'll learn much this week, but our defensive improvement and capabilities will come into focus in October. [/QUOTE]
