75% of tds against us so far this year have been a result of a big play either from our d messing up or our o or sts messing up. What pains me the most is that so many of those big play have been from mental issues not talent... Not falling on a live ball, not wrapping up on tackles, contain discipline on both punts and on defense, etc...

If the coaches can't get their guys to stop the mental errors we are heading for another poor season no matter how many corners are turned because all of the talent in the world doesn't matter if you keep giving up big plays. This has been an ongoing theme under Marrone and it has killed us more than talent because we are constantly behind the eight ball. I really hope we can solve this but as of now I have a hard time predicting us to beat anyone but Stonybrook because I have no idea when we will do something dumb to give away points.
 
Or our kick coverage teams need to learn lane discipline or our offense needs to remember to jump on live balls or stop batting the ball in the air, etc... Our gaffes are evenly distributed across the team, as a fan you can never relax because you never know when we will give up a big play and it doesn't matter if you are punting on offense or defense. I don't think you can sustain any success this way.

Our defense REALLY needs to figure out how to hold teams to FG's.
