I refuse to believe that we have to have a team full of superstars to be competitive. I think we need an identity and a scheme defensively. and a qb that can play from behind. (and not so far behind that the other teams starters are resting)
We have no identity on defense. Everyone's been talking about the offense's zone blocking scheme and our semi west coast offense. But what about the defense. No scheme. Everybody playing pop warner football.
DLine: Just try to sack the qb
LB: Just try to tackle someone
DB: Just stay close to your man
I know I am being a bit exaggerative but that's what it looks like in live action. No one's ever in position from the play being called. They either made a play on their own (Mario's forced fumble) or dumb luck, or lack there of (the fumble out of bounds right in front of J.Reeves)
