As always great podcast, appreciate my question making it on as you had alot of good ones to choose from. Agreed that on defense limiting the explosives is probably the #1 thing. That was their biggest talking point in offseason from their coaches and players, they were expecting to be much more explosive. In the 2 games this season that has shown to be true, against Sam Houston they didnt really sustain drives and hit on multiple explosive big plays.
App took that away from them and their QB isnt efficient enough to have sustained drives, even in Sam Houston game he put alot of balls in play where the defense can get some gifts. But his mechanics arent on point, if you can take away his first read, he gets antsy and tends to spray the ball, especially if you can get him off his spot. I wouldnt be surprised if they go to the backup quickly
