Phil Steele's Defense Rankings

Mr. Steel may think we're good on defense, but he still thinks highly of the Gaytors enough so he has them a solid top ten... must think they're **** good on offense... we'll see.

With our defense last year if he had a punter we would have won 9-10 games.

We never were able to flip field position and make things easier for our terrible offense.

This year I expect the offense to hold its own and therefore with this defense make a big run.

What I would really love to see is someone emerge as a dominate pass rusher. Joe Jackson was a beast but he wasn’t a dominate pass rusher. Hence why he wasn’t drafted higher.

If someone emerges as a guy you have to double team all of a sudden more of those blitz we want to run get open runs or a 1 on 1 for our best guy.

I agree 100%
 
I only doubt the offense.

Lots of potential....but unproven

Just show us ENOS...because we ALL want to believe
Absolutely, we know what a MD defense is capable of and this year should be killer. The delay announcing the qb imo is cause Manolo and Co. are taking the offense very seriously and squeezing the guys to perform at a much higher level than before wit CMR.
 
This defense is a nice blend of grizzled vets and unproven young talents.

Knowles superior? Lol
 
From a maturity standpoint Knowles is vastly superior as one of the handful of 5th year seniors.

Not surprising..divisionally we play some of the worst offenses in the country.
