One thing that is baffling when it comes to the defense is how just developmentally focused we are with that unit especially with the very limited experience on the staff. I'm not going to harp on the the DC playcalling cuz it's been said but I have to question the offseason portal now getting into the meat of the schedule.

I can see going young on the DB side and realistically we have some talent and depth there to play around with. Fran I think knows what he's doing there except the tackling issues. They may be elite next year so not worried there as much.

A True freshman in AD, Gary Bryant who doesn't even have stats listed on ESPN from his prior seasons given it was FCS, Tremble an offensive convert. They've been pretty damn good for the situations they've been put in but where is the veteran leadership and help to tie it all together.

A DL made up of an 8th year guy and whole bunch of RS Srs that look like a patchworked mess from one game to the next. That's really tough on the LB and DB crew that is young and finding their way to hold it together game to game especially with the swings they're seeing.

Just venting that Fran and ERob need to find some studs on defense to lead the team and upgrade the DL and LB room. Guys like Wax, Diggs, and Barron just to hold this ship together are what the D needs.

Maybe that's AD and GBIII becoming bigger leaders next year or some DBs but those guys are still gonna be super young too. Gonna have to hit the portal methinks on the DL/LB and hit it hard.
