I'll get downvote to oblivion here, but the fans who keep blaming House aren't watching the games. Its not like House is calling for safety blitz's on 1st and 10 and getting burnt down the seam. We've played cover 2 and cover 3 for most of the year, and we still have players out of position. Its like our DBs never picked up on zone concepts, and then when we played man, its wasn't any better. It took the entire season for our D Line to have a multi sack game against a quality opponent.

8 defensive players who have never been with the program. 2 of those transfers aren't even with the team anymore. Big swing and a miss on Denver Harris. Maason Smith either not being fully healthy or just out of shape, or just not caring enough.

I dont understand our fans who keep yelling for Perkins to Blitz. Go back and watch the game and just focus in on Perkins. He's getting taken out of the game on almost every single rush. He's not coming untouched like last year, and thats not scheme. Same play calls as last year. I just think we have tape on him, and he doesnt have the size or power to out man SEC OTs. Hell, Ole Miss ran the ball right to him in the 4th quarter because he was just sitting flat footed or rushing wide every play.

I do know that he played a semi prevent zone defense on dang near every 3rd and longish play the entire season. Ranking 116th in 3rd down stop efficiency is absolutely telling. He was gutless and played it safe, not knowing what else to do. Made him look like a fool and embarrassed the players.
Red zone efficiency was darn near as bad, and that was again because he was basically afraid to challenge the offense.
