You're not seeing the real issue here which is the fact that our D line are playing pattycake-contain type football that they did under donofrio. There's no penetration from them. Even from players who got it done in the previous year. Its coaching. Its the scheme they're forced to play in. They're not being used properly and aren't developing.
Defense has a stupid 3rd down package where they bring in 3 ends to try and bum rush. I watched Rousseau line up over the center and get double teamed trying to rush in. Its mindblowingly retarded. The coaches aren't playing fundamental football. It's all gimmicks.
The linebackers are completely useless in our gimmick scheme and every team we play knows it. They are constantly taking bad angles, and shooting the wrong gaps. The middle of the field is always open. Pinckney practically started to line up facing the sidelines knowing hes just going into man coverage.
Same thing with the rotating. Constantly bringing guys on and off the field. Pick the 11 best and let them start to synchronize together. So frustrating.
Don't blame the players. Its the inept coaches.
