Disappointed in dline play this year

Advertisement
Biggest disappointments on defense for me this year have been Hall, Harvey, Huff, D Johnson and Miller. None have lived up to their hype. McCloud has outperformed my wildest expectations for him at DE, as he is a serviceable rotational guy which I never expected.

I'm not Elijah's number one fan, that title goes to his mom. But I really like that kid's potential. He's not good enough to start yet, but neither are our starters. So go with the kids with the most upside. Chantz, Roberts and Taylor need to be splitting reps now. By the end of the season, we could have a really good DL if we develop the talent we have.

We have been epic bad at DL Linebackers OL and defensive back until TRob.

LBs and DBs yes. Though this past class of Kinchens, Williams and Chase Smith broke our mediocrity streak there. TRob is going to get us to the next level. Once Manny is fired, hopefully we find a LB coach who can do the same (that may be Ish, I don't know enough about him yet).

I'm not there with you on DL. It's not epic bad. Chantz, Roberts and Taylor are high quality kids that just need more development. JHH and Silvera are good starter material, and Ford is a good rotational plater. Harvey should be much further along than he is, too. That wouldn't make a bad nucleus. We just haven't glued the parts together into a cohesive unit and that's on the coaches.

Outside of Nesta and chantz , I’m very disappointed to say the least. We aren’t generating nearly enough pressure. Got to get that edge back expeditiously

It's not clear that we have a single draft-able player rotating at DE right now.

They need a new LB coach DL coach WR coach OL coach.

Keep DVD and TRob. Everyone else let them go....I don't mind the RB coach but bruh we need some first rounders at tailback.

8.5 tackles for loss as a junior (even more than that really, they didn’t credit all of his tackles for loss some games) isn’t good? Nesta was one of the better pass rushing dts in the country last year according to pff too

It was several acc games he took over last year. Y’all just saying that because you hate his mindset/attitude. Kid plays hard.

Not at all. Look at his stats. He’s been a major disappointment. It’s straight facts. Perhaps, you just love him for whatever reason..

I'm with gogeta. Play 99 and give 81 burn at DE and you can move him inside if you like on passing downs. This will put 56 in the DT rotation. This will give us a more physical and athletic look on the DL.

This is exactly what i would do.

They have now played Roberts at DE in this game...I think they should get 81 out there some at DE...which what bumps Taylor up a bit.

Who is playing in front of Taylor ISNT MILLER OR JON FORD...its Nesta and Hunte who he isnt better than
