re: Damone at Mike had one solo tackle.. Who’s concerned ?

The rush defense is gonna kill the pass. Non-QB backs averaged 4.5 yards per carry to Vandy whose backs were certainly nowhere near the size or speed of some they will face like Harris. This defense is poor at backer. Speed to the point of attack and gap assignment is dramatically different from the previous seasons. It could be the dline play will improve enough to make a difference in the run game. When you don’t have the beef pushing the opponents Olinemen into the backfield AND assisting in the run game, it creates a big concern with what we have seen thus far. As others have pointed out the lack o gap assignment and speed to the point of the attack has been disappointing overall.

What I’m really concerned about is coverage on wheel routes by the RBs and TE releases. They are terrible. Those have to be improved or someone like Mullins will abuse them.
