Message: [QUOTE="Archbold44, post: 5488919, member: 10528"] I am thinking that the issue with our defense is the DL. Their OL just swallowed up our DL. Sure, our LBs and DBs have to tackle better... but if our DL can virtually never shed a block to make a tackle or even slow/alter momentum, that really hurts. Their RBs were hitting the holes with momentum and our LBs/DBs are making the play against that momentum. So even making the hit and stopping the run leads to 5-6 yard gain. I also think the tackling was bad relative to trying to get strips. I think we need to tie up players and have the second guy go for the strip. Tennessee has a great run game, so hopefully that was the issue. Tennessee is just well coached. And their QB actually did quite well too. [/QUOTE]
