re: Miles decision to defend lee/DCs and bash other players

Les doesn't take his role very seriously? I can definitely agree with that.

5 star juco transfer

How could he get on Jarrett Lee for throwing a catchable ball to the "only in his mind sure handed" Byrd.

Or how can Miles defend SR Curtis Taylor who is so lost at safety that I think our Defense looked better when he was injured the last two weeks.

Wha would SlowFlowPro do?

i don't get the DC love in the media while blaming the struggles on the players

I dont totally understand this either. But the problem is two fold.

Take yesterday for example:

1)Phelon Jones blows coverage on 3rd and 17. TD

2)Punt safe protection, and they do a successful fake punt. Ends up a TD on that drive.

3) Chris Hawkins drops easy INT. Drive ends in a TD.

The first 2, seems the calls were right. Werent executed by the players.

3rd was just a lack of execution on Hawkins. He's dropped INTs all year.


All year our defense has lacked aggressiveness. They have tackled poorly. They have dropped INTS. They have playerd overall, with a low football IQ.

Earlier in the season, I was putting that on all the players. But it hasnt been corrected. The coaches deserve a lot of the blame for not correcting ANY of that.


anyway, enough ranting...

I havent read today's paper. Has he defended the DC's after yesterday's game?

I just can't blame the players when there are that many coverage break downs. the majority of these same players didnt botch plays like this last year. but I'm not sayin Pelini was the greatest either because he was overrated.

[Snead] was again, an on-fire quarterback in Tiger Stadium,” Miles said. “We knew they were pretty good on defense. I’m surprised at how well they threw the football on offense. I felt like we would stop the run and did not expect them to throw the football as well.”

No Slow still is harping on shite from 3 weeks ago.

I will tell you this......Miles will throw BOTH coordinators under the bus after the season is over.....



Byrd just needs to shut up and play.....catch the ball when it comes to you......and did I mention shut up?

well they should be getting a little better as the season progresses right? a lot has to be scheme and coaching because 85% of the time everyone is out of position.
