Maybe the best game I have seen out of a freshman linebacker since Dan Conley. Absolute stud. He will be special.

2020 had been a crazy year...but the young defensive talent in this team is freakishly good. The back seven is top 15 good, and I really mean that.

This kid had himself a ball game tonight.

Garrett, Marlowe and Stef are special.

 

[690West]

He was incredible

 

[OrangeXtreme]

5 solo tackles.

4 TFL.

 

[Orangezoo]

The defense is so talented and going to be elite. We have to get an offense though to take advantage.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Lots of talent on defense despite losing a couple guys to the NFL

Hopefully the offense gets fixed and the wins come back

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Maybe if some of our LB's properly dedicated themselves to S&C, they could become OL's.

If you're taking positives away, our young defense will be really good in two years. What is missing is a solid one and three technique inside the line.

 

[Orangefizz]

We have talent on D but we need more size up front. Also no matter how good our defense is, they will always wear out in the second half if the offense cannot sustain drives

Yes! And the players playing those spots currently are Srs. Any talk of being "elite" on D needs to start with the DL.

 

[smartman]

Yeah, a few good ones out there. I fear our defensive line depth (who starts next year?) will make things tough though.

 

[PhatOrange]

Feel terrible for the defense. Can’t imagine how good they’d be with a competent offense

The defense really has done well considering we lost two players who likely play on Sunday’s to injury as well.

So very true. I have seen 85 blocked upto 4 yards off the ball and forget beating a double. He just isn’t big enough. Plays a bit tall at times too.
