IMO last year the biggest issue with the DL was we didn't have enough bodies. That seems to be fixed this year. For LB we were also lacking bodies. This year we are lacking both bodies and talent. I think this group is scary, a major concern. CB last year we were very young. This year we are still young. The Ss last year IMO were bad. They made a ton of mistakes, even our best player in the group. So the question is were those mistakes more a lack of talent or lack of knowing the role/system? We lost our best S and I am not high on the capabilities of the two returning players. I think this area is a concern.

In today's game the role of the D is really to occasionally get in the way of the O. Don't allow quick scores. Don't allow long drives. Hold the O to FGs instead of TDs. And when the opportunity presents, get off the field. A school like SU will be lucky to have a good D given the current CFB environment. And if it happens it will likely be a SR led D. That being said I don't have confidence in ERob with a good D, and IMO this D lacks a lot.
