Maybe it just is what it is.

I still think that the causes for the 2Q defensive showing was multifactorial, but what if it is just a lower caliber of D than we've been accustomed to seeing? So what?

We lost a lot of starters so this would be expected. This team still has the goods to make a NC run, so just enjoy the ride. It's quite possible that there is absolutely nothing that can be done about the D anyway so what good is worrying about it?

Dude it's a discussion board. I'm not worried about it in a way to not get out of bed every day. It's just a topic of discussion. It's not just the LBers. The d line is getting pushed back and they can't get off their blocks to make tackles. Also, when the secondary comes up for a tackle they take bad angles. Yes we lost starters from last year but I'm talking about this year. Is it somewhat expected? Maybe. It may just take them 4 games to get better I don't know. I personally think we're giving up too much size for speed. Anthony Johnson is a smaller tackle and so are most of our linebackers. We need a larger mike with speed like minted was. He was 240. Maybe we just don't have that player. Anyways I'm not trying to be negative as I thoroughly enjoyed watching the game last night and I think we have a chance to win it all. I just think our run defense will have to improve significantly to do so
