D front 7 talent???

Don’t give me that youth crap.
I'll say it. I believe that that the Freak is a bust (unless he is hurt). We have sub-par talent at the ends. And with that many LBs, you would think we could find someone who could take on a block. 31 wouldn't start at La tech. Mett is our only shot for wins. We can't stop the run. Period! We have to light it up on O every game. It's sad when you realize its talent and not coaching. If they were talented you could teach them. You can't fix getting own in the trenches. Long season but I still believe we can do it, it's just doesn’t look good.

The only thing this defense is missing is a leader.
There is no Eric Reid, Brandon Taylor, or Kelvin Shepperd out there lining guys up and keeping them focused.
We need our seniors to start being leaders on that defense.

If you don't think youth and inexperience make a huge difference, you don't have to look any further than LSU last year. Look at the inexperience on offense last year and look at how inconsistent a unit can be. Now look at the experience on the offense this year and look how consistent they are.
I am not saying it is everything, but it is a damn big part of why the defense has been so inconsistent.

D front 7 talent???
The absence of a pass rush and the sluggish LB's are troubling, but let's not unfairly single out the front seven. The DBs were equally atrocious.
If it's a true talent deficiency, the program will stagnate for a couple of years. It could be a reflection of the mediocre 2012 class, when we missed out on an elite in-state LB and an elite in-state safety who might both dramatically help us at this juncture. But I'm hoping it isn't talent, just youth and poor execution. Time will tell.

Freak is playing almost every snap a game and is doing so hurt. Look at the equipment on his arms. He looks like a bionic man with all those braces.
The talent is there. We have some of the best coaches in CFB let them do their thing. We replaced 5 starters and significant players on the DL a position notoriously difficult to pick up. If you expected us to be world killers by now you need to get some perspective

I think Freak is above average, but that is it. People are too quick to buy into the hype about him. I am mostly disappointed in Rasco. Of course I am not a fan of Curtis or Evangle players, because I think they are maxed out when you get them.

There is a drop off of talent from the past two seasons. Youth is an issue but not the entire problem. If Freak is double teamed and Ego is going one on one and accomplishing zero, we aren't taking advantage of the double team. Since no one is replacing Ego, the talent isn't there.
The ends are biting to the inside and the RB's are clear sailing to the outside. I have no idea where the LB's are or what they are doing. If you're standing up and watching the action, you aren't playing defense.
Our DB's are lost. Period. They've been beaten all over the field, and deep often. The DB's aren't looking back to the ball at all in any games thus far. Period! If this isn't cleaned up this weekend, then a change is needed at the end of this season. Cory Raymond is at the center of this issue.
