If the problems really were related to communication and not just complete unfixable incompetence - and they can be fixed with a laser-like focus (which I believe that Chief is capable of), we will run the table.

IF the defense can be fixed on the back end and we can hold teams in the 20's for scoring, no one will beat us.

The only threat is Texas A&M. They might score in the 40's, but we can score in the 50's on that defense.

I think some of the problems in coverage were related to coaching decisions to not blitz and play coverage.

Murray had all day to throw. Allowed time for his WR to break open and exacerbated the miscommunications in coverage.

You didn't make that IF big enough.

Face it, your defense won't be elite this season, but I wouldn't worry right now.

I think we rule that out.

The D line was mauled and that had nothing to do with communication. The DE were nowhere to be found. That's not communication. The LB were ineffective and bullied. That's not communication.
