This board is the wrong place for counseling after a loss. A great place for forming suicide pacts, however.

I understand the rollercoaster of emotions, though.

The bold portion of your post has me very confused. Throughout the Marone/HCSS era, the one consistent has been the ability of the defense to provide pressure. Many times, it needs to be generated by a crazy blitz scheme, but that pressure comes. Now, at times, that exposes our secondary, and we have been torched in previous years, but we STILL generated that pressure.

Where has that gone this year? With the group of athletic LBs we have, you would figure it would be a mainstay. Our front 4 simply does not generate any pressure consistently. RT is good for 1-2 impressive sacks or pressures per game, but then disappears for long stretches. Occasionally LA or Simmons will get in there too. Other than that? Nothing.

You combine that lack of pressure with awful FS and Whigham play, and the inability to play the screen or keep contain, and you end up with the  show we have witnessed the last two games (CMU, as well...though they were on the field for so much of the 2nd half, it is forgivable).
