ok I’m gonna say this before someone else sees it.

First off, not that its THAT important but you need to revise your posts before hitting that post button. Your “speeling” is pretty awful. Rereading your post could really help with that. You even mispelled Auburn…. come on man.

Secondly, Its not a joke or an excuse when people talk about our depth being a problem. And its not just gametime when it affects us. Its during practice when the guys are working on tackling. Not being able to go through a “good” player during practice for fear of injury to a 1st teamer is BIG. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “You play as hard as you practice”, Its true. Its very limiting in the things that Ted Roof can do as a coordinator. I’m sure its driving him crazy. He has always been known as an aggressive-blitzing-defensive minded guy. He can’t do that all the time because of the lack of LB’s on the team. Good LB’s. Not only that but the inexperiance at safety doesn’t help. Injuries in the off-season have hurt us there too. Then you throw in the lack of depth on the D-line(their all hurting and some are just now coming back), and you’ll have some defensive problems. I heard it somewhere that we’ve lost around 17 guys for various reasons(Graduated, medical, failed out, kicked out, ran away, or left for the pros) in the past year and a half. Thats huge!

So try and give Roof a REAL opportunity to do his thing before you go swinging on the man’s balls too hard. Its his 1st year on the team. He inherited some problems to say the least. If its still awful 3 years from now then you just might be on to something.

…..a new problem. Our defensive play has been declining for at least two and a half years, as the numbers withered. We went from 13.9 points per game in 2006, to about 17 in 2007, to 18 last year. Now that we’re down to basically one big time lineman, and two ok linebackers, yeah. We’re ballooning on points given up, this year. But the trend has been there even since the Muschamp era. You have to have players, to play defense.

Yeah i smell something

he’s a Homer no doubt. But, he’s right. The starting 11 should be capable of making some stops before wearing down. They didn’t do a good job at all last week.

This week against KENTUCKY IT WAS THE OFFENSE that couldn’t get it done. Chris Todd is simply AWFUL again. Damn-I wish you would stop bashing the defense and accept that offense has been terrible two games in a row. DAMN.

I will be wearing my orange all week in spite of this loss. We need to recruit, and we need to recruit NOW!!

The reality is we have plenty of blame to go around. Bottom line, it all starts at the top. When you go 3 and out, you put a thin defence at risk. When we line up wrong or jump offsides or hold (you get the idea) things snowball. This team needs a leader.
We are not mentally tuff and when our studs (Tate, Todd and Fannin) drop the ball things fall apart in a hurry. Anyway, I will say this; when our D line is gassed – subs are in order.
