Freak gets doubled and Ego gets doubled. The difference is Freak usually gets pushed back 5 yards... Ego does not.

Ego has outperformed Freak this year. Not sure what some are seeing.

I will say however that Freak played a better game against Georgia in that aspect. IMO Georgia was his best game to date. He played within himself.

This is 1000% just not accurate. Freak is rarely doubled. This is another classic example of someone with a false sense of reality. Let it go, open your eyes; Freak has underperformed, and it has nothing to do with double team.....wait and you mentioned triple team???

Sad but true. If it were that simple to stop a really good DT then they'd all have mediocre stats. They don't. He does.

Lack of a leader also has nothing to do with missing tackles. When did hitting with your shoulder become the acceptable way to tackle?

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.
