[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 249812, member: 639"] At this point I think the defense is playing well enough for us to have a very good season. They have been challenged and done their job. We have given up under 60 points in 4 games, one of them being against a top 3 or so team on a night where we got 11 yards in a half of football on offense. Any and all of the concerns surrounding lack of pressure and TOs are legit, but as a sum total, our defense is working. Much of what is happening is by design. Let's face it. We tightened up our coverage and pressured clemson more later in that game because we HAD to get the ball back if we wanted any chance to win. We are playing our standard scheme on defense because we trust our offense to score more then our opponents. I don't agree with it, but I am not the coach. My concern is on the offensive side of the ball. Until we start doing these two things, I think we are in for a struggle no matter who we have left to play: 1. [B]Get separation at the WR position[/B]. Justin really has very small spaces within which to put the football lately. That is not our offense. Schematically, we should have guys running free. The only guy who got free against the tiggers was Stewart and that was on an assignment bust. We are being shown no respect at WR and safeties are pinning their ears back. 2. [B]Block better in space. [/B]I am not just talking about the OL nor just the skill guys, but both. It hasn't been right yet, not in a single game, let alone Clemson. We are not timing blocks. We are not getting guys on the ground. We are not attacking the right players consistently enough. I think our guys can run with the football a little bit, but it won't matter if the area between the hash and the boundary is full of whiffed pursuers. We can have our pitch read out there, by design, but everybody else needs to be facing a lot more adversity to get to that area of the field than they have been. [/QUOTE]
