re: Effect of Revamped Offense on Defense

We are doing extremely well, but there are cracks in the foundation (youth, mostly). We've gotten burned a few times by players not the caliber of those we put on the field.
I wouldn't raise the alarm, but it needs to get fixed. We're still an impressive defense, but I'd take our DOMINANT defenses from 2010-12 over what is CURRENTLY on the field.

Our competition has been subpar so I would hope our defense would rank well. It does but that doesn't mean squat at this point other than it means they aren't horrible. Indicates average at worst.
But watch the defense! You don't need a stat to tell you when someone can't shed a block or more likely takes their self out of position.
The good news is our DT and DE are doing a very very good job. If we had problems their it would be much much less likely that their would be significant improvement this season.
But the good thing is the problems we are having on defense at least have a decent chance to be fixed. Brain mistakes... understanding.
And consider that half the time it wasn't even the eventual starters that were making those mistakes. Two guys fighting for a spot means twice the chance that one of them "gets it" / "steps up".
I am hopeful that by the Georgia game the defense will be more settled. And hoping it doesn't cost us this weekend.
