I believe strongly it is the scheme for why the DB's aren't better.  I just think we don't put them in a position to succeed and either isolate them on an island or ask them to tackle 1 on 1.  They also give pretty big cushions when the zone blitzes occur that there isn't much they can do.  I think part of the problem is Syracuse (due to a weak front line) has to blitz to bring pressure, which puts a lot of pressure on the secondary to cover long or cover on an island.  I really feel like the blitz style is much different under Bullough then Shafer.

I don't like Anderson, but he has been playing a lot, has been a 3-year starter I think and is the best tackler amongst the CB's (maybe b/c he gets so many chances, who knows?).  I personally think Eskridge, Anderson and Reddish (and Lyn when healthy) could all start for ACC teams.  I think most of our defenders not on the front 4 could start for most every other ACC team not named Clemson or Florida State.

Well, we don't know yet that it has been addressed.  We think we are bringing in better playmakers at QB and WR.  It is hard to evaluate recruiting (especially with an unfinished class), but I was expecting it to take a bigger jump then what we are seeing with the move to the ACC.  Honestly, my insight on the recruiting is definitely unfair since the class isn't finished and I can understand that.  Heck, we can go back 2 years and still have unfair opinions on that recruiting class!

Only reason I didn't mention Reed is he is a first year position coach. I will be surprised if he is let go.  I think he was one of the last (if not THE last) hire, so maybe they will try and find someone early on and it is his fault.
