Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1884466, member: 40"] No, it's the new system AND the personnel [at a lot of positions on D]. Once the latter is optimized, the execution will improve. It will also improve once the kids are more acclimated to their new roles / responsibilities in the Tampa 2, and as they physically mature over time / progress into being experienced upperclassmen throughout the course of their careers. Returning starters isn't particularly relevant if the returning group isn't that strong. Last year's defense was the worst we've had in 8 years or so. It's okay to acknowledge that we have some gaps on the roster, whereas other positional units are well stocked / more experienced / performing at a higher level right now. [/QUOTE]
