Worst D1A Defense I Have Ever Seen

[StallionsModelT]

It is going to be a LONG year defensively. Is the cupboard really that bare?

[jkflamebo]

there's just no hope like there was two years ago to make a big stop. we will not touch graham harrell next week and he will throw for 500 yards

I think I'd be happy if he throws for just 500.

It will be sad when next saturday we get the 'most TDs in a single game receiving' record scored on us...........again..............

Will Crabtree be in the Heisman running after our game like Woods was?

[ALEX LIFESON]

So far, we have had no pass rush, can't stop the run, can't stop the pass, and cannot tackle for squat. After the first two games, I will admit to being shocked, at how terrible this defense has been thus far.

1 sack against a DII Team. What happened to the attacking defense scheme. I saw Smart blitz last nite-didn't quite get there. But where are the Safety Blitz and OLBs coming off the edge? They defintely have backed off the attacking defense plan.

Yenga and Smart both record sacks

[gostangs]

Might as well blitz the safeties - keeps them from looking bad later in the play....

I have zero faith in Tom Mason.

[Stallion]

Yenga and Smart were credited with .5 sacks against Texas State-which still equals 1 sack.

[San Antonio Mustang]

Yenga is impressing me. He is hitting hard and the only one getting into the backfield. Did you see him run down that running back and catch him from behind for no gain. I will not be surprised to see him start next week. The problem our defense is having is only partially due to alignment and assignment problems. The problem primarily stems from lack of speed, lack of size, and inexcusably lack of fundamental techniques (tackling.) If Mason can get these guys to tackle the way they were taught in middle school the defense will be a whole lot better. I think our players have watched too much NFL and believe they can do what the pros do. They can't.

Though our D is not very good, you better get used to giving up a lot of yards - it's a necessary by-product of the run-and-shoot. It doesn't necessarily mean our D is as bad as the stats indicate.
