Dline struggle

Our DL guru HC will have that fixed in his fifth year on campus baw

d line was facing 3 5 stars and 2 4's. they held up their end. we are missing that really stud player on the line, though, that we used to always have.

Our DL hasn't been bad, but I do agree they have a vision problem. Guys are running right by them without even an arm tackle attempt a lot of times. Sometimes the arm tackle doesn't make the tackle but keeps the RB from bursting by the LB, etc.

Their roles in a 3-4 is just to occupy space and let lbs make the tackles..

I think it's an issue of not having any serious edge rushing threats. Our OLB are mehh. The first two games combined for one less sack than our last 7 games combined. (9 to 10)Chaisson was a big big loss unfortunately.

I know sacks aren't the only measure of a DL, but it's a big one.
And it's concerning seeing as how our HC is a DL guru.

With the loss of Chaisson perhaps Aranda and co. are more concerned with containing the QB and the run and just pushing the line. Rather than going all out for disruption/tackles for loss.
