The Defense just does not play aggressive football. They don’t have the horses 🐴 or experience like Tennessee to do that right now in August.  They run a stay in your lane and make them beat you with short accurate passes defense and hope the secondary and LBs can keep the running game under control. Sacks nope, tackles for loss maybe a few but not much else for the box score for the DL and LBs.

The killer is that if they play this style D they just can not ever ever ever give up big plays over the top which was a backbreaker today or have the offense put them in a big hole with turnovers. Thats 14-21 points and too much today. Stopping the run and tackling is just the talent and experience gap hitting us in August.

I know people hate this style of defense. It’s boring and doesn’t show up on the stat sheet but until they get the horses and experience I don’t see another option.  Maybe later in the season or maybe next year.  I just need to see more still.
