I see at least 8 JR guys that will probably get drafted in the NFL. 7 Seniors.
That is plenty of talent to win games. Guess we will see if it happens.
Nothing will matter if Al continues to think it best to play defense 5 to 8 yards deep on OUR side on the line of scrimmage. Until he starts THINKING being on the other side of the line of scrimmage with the snap is a good thing and not free lancing, we will be eaten alive game after game after game. Your point is well taken though. Our Talent on the field this year is way better than the last two. Our coaching talent remains a constant. At least we have a nice science experiment. Coaching constant. talent imporved, Test for reults. I fear Al is on life support unless he makes the changes he does not seem to think neccessary.

i am just guessing here...the thought hit me...Maybe al understands how week the line is and he allows the corners to play off the line..
in this case we don't get beat over the top as much...normally a good d-line allows you to jam and recover...
Just a thought..but when you have zero pressure...your corners are literally at the WR's mercy
All comes down to the QB position
Solid QB play will also keep the D off the field more and put them in better positions to be able to Pass rush w/ leads versus defending the run and the dink and dunk because of punt after punt...
