UM Players: Defense now a strength, disruptive

I actually think that the difference in our teams being 6-7 last year and 10-3 is just being an aggressive more attacking defense.

And although there is no way in **** I'll believe we are actually playing a 1 gap D and are going to be aggressive, I will say that that change could singlehandedly win us 3 more games this year.
The problem has never been the talent, it's always been the scheme. And if what they say is happening is actually happening, that is a pretty **** big scheme change on defense. Too ****ing bad it couldn't have happened in 2012.

we didn't have the talent or depth to play this style in 2012. Last year, we didn't have this type of depth either. That said, the coaches did a horrible job putting players in positions to be successful.

We didn't have the talent or depth to play an aggressive defense? are you ******* kidding me dude. I'm sorry, I guess it's less tiring for dlineman to get thier *** pushed back 5 yards, than go forward a yard or two. we need to make sure our depth players don't come in, so we can't get our starters tired right? even if it means giving up yards and touchdowns, Right?
And you must be kidding about not having the talent right? In 2012 we were still more talented than all but maybe 3 teams. And last year, we were without a doubt more talented than most teams in the country. You don't need a team full of all americans to have your Dline move forward instead of just ******* sitting in place trying to read 2 gaps.

How poor of a coach do you have to be for players to continuously comment on how much the new guy is teaching them? WTF was goin on before Melvin got here?!
 
And since when do D-line coaches dictate defensive philosophy? The way the DL plays is up to the DC.
