re: it was amazing to see, but the defensive guys looked confident as hell.

Can you extend the perceived vs actual performance chart far down and several clicks to the left to accurately map where Deion Sanders is living right now?
I honestly believe Deion is closer to the crossover point, it's the talking heads in the media that are off the chart to the left. Deion will use all of that to try to generate interest in his program. The man can parlay media hype into positive movement like few I have seen.

Jefferson should be playing at minimum 50% of the snaps. Womack, Yaites, and Stamps should be much more involved. At least they've figured out how good Whit Weeks is. Let's just hope he starts and plays most of the snaps even after Speights returns.
they are still tinkering with who can play at this level...

I don't understand celebrating, in general. I mean, you're being paid (via scholarships and NIL) to make tackles.
Why celebrate at all? Act like you've been there before.

our staff did a horrible job predicting this in the offseason. But they ARE allowed to improve week to week.
So having several months to figure it out wasn’t enough time but on the fly during the season is?

Rewatched it and that front 7 was really fun to watch. They should have confidence. Most QB aren’t built like KJ. Give Womack and Jefferson more reps and watch the F out. Really hope secondary can get it together.

This was one of my big problems with Les Miles. There would be huge problems midway through the season and he'd always say "we'll get those fixed."
Why not fix them in fall camp before the season starts? I mean, these coaches are paid millions of dollars.
Now of course, new problems pop up during the season due to injuries, etc. I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about normal stuff that should've been worked out in fall camp. You can't wait until halfway through the season to try to fix.

Will they ever stop running full speed at quarterbacks just for him to move out of the way over and over and over again while they dive in the dirt, just so the quarterback can complete a 25-yard pass on 3rd and 20?

Swag is easy, actually. Executing on defense and getting off the field on 3rd down isn't, apparently.

Nothing drives me more nuts than watching a player whiff on a tackle, but catch the runner/WR from behind 15 yards downfield, then stand over him like he made a great play. Dude, you got toasted. Sit down.

We traditionally played 2 creampuffs, and either a decent unranked team, or very occasionally a good ranked team, to start the season. That's because the team was a work in process early in the schedule, and that was when your team was guys who'd been there a couple years in the system. NEW guys were the random spectacular freshmen who were physically better, but you still had to get them used to your scheme.
You didn't want to play a marquee opener until you had a very experienced team coming back.
Now the past couple years, we've been plugging in guys from the transfer portal. Look at the secondary- these guys aren't high draft prospects, they're average players... with zero experience working together, and trying to learn a new system.

They often seem confused.

This, dear posters, is a great example of the bottom quartile of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

If they fixed them all before the season they would win the National Championship every single year.
I run a large company. We have problems all the time. Some of them have been the same problems we had 20 years ago. We are constantly trying to get them fixed. It's easy to criticize managers when your job is putting the red bolt into the red hole.
If I knew how to get all of this fixed, once and for all, I'd be as rich as Croesus.

I'm talking about glaring errors - undisciplined play, pre-snap penalties, clock management, bad scheme/play calling compared to our roster's strengths and weaknesses, playing ineffective players/playing them out of position, etc.
You know, stuff that should be determined in spring and fall camp. Not in the middle of a season.

Swag has been redefined by the new generation as tackling a guy from behind 15 yds down field and flexing over him...

That's the difference. These were 18-22 year old MEN back then.
