re: Rewatched the game.........(WARNING: TL;DR)

I think the most disappointing players have been Barrow and Loston. Welter is not an SEC linebacker, but Barrow was expected to be a stalwart for us. In my opinion, he has played every bit as poorly as Welter.

Loston is projected as a high draft pick, but he has not ball awareness whatsoever. He is a great hitter, but his type aggression is being removed from the game with the targeting rules. He does not cover well, and he never plays the ball, and now he can't even punish receivers the way he used to without risk of being tossed.

I think our linebacker play is causing most of the difficulties for the defensive play calling, and I am very hopeful that some changes are in store at that position.

All that being said, I have always dreaded watching Chief call passive defenses during the last few minutes of games that we lead be 7 or less. He almost never rushes more than 4, and often only three. That seems like a huge mistake against a very good 4th year drop back passer.

Georgia did not make the same mistake when we got the ball back losing by 3. They came after Mettenberger, and it was the right approach to take.
