[QUOTE="billga99, post: 840676, member: 1618"] I think this is well thought and a good definition of where we are today. As you stated, Defense is our biggest issue. We have gotten burned deep a lot of times this year. A lot of this is scheme. Collins likes to put Corners on receivers close to the line of scrimmage. He certainly did that at Florida. The issues I see are lack of a pass rush puts them on an island for an extended period of time, they don't have the speed or instincts to not get beat deep and they do appear confused on the back end of the defense on a consistent basis. If we hire another DC, we have got to scheme to put more pressure on the QB on a consistent basis, potentially back off the pressure coverage (yes I realize that leads to maddening short down and outs being not contested), or play more effective Zone. In my opinion, it comes down to Pass Rush as much or more than coverage. There are almost no DBs who can cover for 6 or 7 seconds. I think lack of a pass rush has been the core problem of our defense for at least the last 10 years and is what separates the top teams from GT and most other schools. If you blitz to create more pressure (and a lot of times this year we blitzed and still got limited or no pressure), you must figure out how to set up the rest of your defense to not get burned deep.
