For the ones that are saying the defense was bad before this year. Make your argument that this is true.

Yes, against Kentucky and Arky, the defense has some issues, but Flynn played shitty in both games and we should have won both, if Scott got the ball more against kentucky and if we don't get that bullshite call against Doucet on the hester Td in the 4th quarter against Arky.

The defense has not been as aggressive since the VT game last year for me. Last year and this year we lack the knack for getting sacks and getting turnovers. Lack of big plays, game changing plays have been a hindrance past 2 years.

Our tackling is pretty damn bad, among other things I recall two instances yesterday where Snead broke free from gimme sacks and moved the ball down field, one a big pass play I believe.

Here's a challenge for upcoming Tiger teams: tackling in space. Not easy to do, but our inability here cost us plenty v. UF, Bama and Ole Miss.

Yes, our tackling is horrible. We are the worst tackling team in the country. I wonder if we even have tackling drills in practice.

We were bad, now we're terrible.

The D had some challenges last year, but at least we had some field leadership from the Saban years (Steltz, Dorsey,etc) to know you should cover a WR on a post pattern and to maintain your rush lanes on the D-line. Hey, maybe throw in a stunt on pass rush every now and then. The discipline around tackling has been the most obvious though. Even in Jr High your taught to take the legs, not upper body shot arm tackles.

Did you see the Ohio St game? I think they were agressive.
