Some of it may be coaching, but I had no idea we had recruited so poorly on D the last few years. We have no difference makers on DL or CB as many as we have in NFL. I heard all Spring about how much speed we had in the secondary. If so, they must be taking very bad angles when trying to cover or tackle. I know 3-3-5 is designed for front three to jam up OL & our LB's to make the tackles, but most are in pursuit 6 to 8 yards down the field. Only ST are well coached and performing at a SEC level. Better be careful who we try to retain with NIL funds (covid players).
