Dline depth is a concern. The thing is though the DTs have played pretty well. Freak isn't making many plays because he's almost always doubled up. If your DTs are getting doubled then your LBs should fill the gaps and IMO, they're way too passive this season. LBs is definitely the weak link on this defense right now.

Yes our 2 dts have played well. That is the problem, we rotated 5 guys last year. We have 3 rt now.

Not being a dick but I'm tired of reading this. Freak was not doubled much in the Auburn game. I have rematched it. freak just had a bad night and was getting pushed around. Maybe there is something to his arm injury but in this game he was mostly controlled by the auburn guard or center. He got pushed back 3 to 4 yards many times.

He has gotten some doubles in the earlier games.

Bottom line is the whole defense needs to get better. Welter is average but it is what it is.

Barrow can't play a read option to save his life. Every play on one TD drive was towards him being the option man and he looked bad so expect to see that more.

Dline just needs to play better and DBS need to cover tighter and run support with better angles and we have a chance to win games.

I'm not ready to write them off but they do need to improve to beat everybody.
