Everyone arguing that the T2 defensive scheme can work here concedes that both the DL and secondary have to have a serious talent upgrade to perform at an adequate level. At the same time, they argue that you can't play freshmen and be competitive because they need at least a year in strength and conditioning and part of the problem is that we are playing too many young guys this year. So if youth is the problem and you need to redshirt the incoming freshmen defensive players to build depth how can we possibly be better next year without an immediate infusion of JUCO's or transfers in the DL and secondary ? The poor talent we have is going to magically become superior talent in the off season ? I think not.

People arguing that this D will be automatically better next year just because, are setting themselves up for more disappointment. It might be marginally better because I don't see how it can be this horrible for another year, but it could also be worse. That's possible as well. If you don't have the horses to run your preferred scheme it is incumbent upon the staff to adjust the scheme to fit the talent you do have. Dino better take a long hard look at his defense including defensive staff because he has a serious problem.
