I understand the deficiencies well - I'm just not in the habit of making hyperbolic and outlandish statements or coming to foolish conclusions in support of my position.4 sacks to alabama and we surrendered 11 to Houston.
Sacks allowed we wete bottom 3 in the country.
So while you are trying to make a crusade against my name, i am speaking about our team.
No matter how you slice it, we are in dier straights with our offensive and defensive lines.
If it is not addressed we will have no improvement on an offensive line that only 2 other teams in football gave up less sacks.
Being in the bottom 3 of sacks allowed does not me happy.
Being in the bottom 3 of sacks allowed makes me question the coaching and personell.
Defensively, we can not pressure the qb unless we blitz. It wears our team out. We lack depth and blitzing every down our 4th quarter conditioning comes into question.
This team needs linemen if you want to acknowledge that or not.
If grantham and klenakis continue to ignore it, we will have an extremely bad season.
How you dont understand that baffles me.
I guess my point is that there are a myriad of factors that go into things like how many sacks we give up or, how many sacks we get.
Is the play calling or QB objectives too one dimensional? Did the QB go through his progressions properly or miss open receivers? Are the receivers good enough to get open in a timely manner? Is the QB staying in the pocket / hanging on to the ball too long?
Are the DBs able to cover long enough to allow for pressure from the front 7? Are the DLmen staying in their lanes or allowing the QB to break contain? Is the opponent using short / intermediate routes to get the ball out quickly more often than not? Do they have a good run game that has to be respected?
Rather than understand this, you continue to prattle on myopically about one position group as if they are the only factor determining wins and losses.
BTW - Blitzing does not wear a defense out. Do you really think that it is that much harder to rush upfield than it is to cover a RB or TE down the field? What wears a defense out is a lack of quality depth and being on the field too long - it's why those really good Oregon teams could never win a championship - their offense never gave them a break.
BTW - I don't think 'dire' means what you think it means.
