Teams are scoring 30+ on us a game. They might be getting pressure more often but seems like they've struggle to contain the QB and prevent scrambles. If they're better it seems incremental to me. Domineck's performance against Duke was impressive, he might be a Tech great in the making.
There's two m's. That was the confusion.
Just you. We gave up 30+ to Duke and Louisville and won and everybody loves our DL. We gave up 30+ to ND and BC and everyone hated the DL and the world was ending.
I don’t think my statement contradicts with your assessment. I think they’re a solid group with a chance to be really good in a couple years, but consistency comes with experience. They just seem much improved to me vs a year ago, and are much more consistently getting push/pressure against teams not going to the playoffs. Also, I think the LB corps has a lot to do with our struggle against the run at times. Overall, very excited about the future of the line, especially with some of the guys we have coming in next year.
I hated when our DL fumbled into the endzone for a TD and caught a kick at the 1 and gave up a safety
we give up 35 a game against poor offenses...i want what you're having....cheers!!
Not sure what to tell you if you don’t see improved D line play vs last year. I’ll continue to believe my eyes on the play of a particular position group, rather than judging it based over the overall result of the defense as a whole.
Our problem is we are playing guys before we should. Linemen should ALL be redshirted unless they are 5* AA caliber and then given limited time their second year. The only thing that will solve that it time. And yes they are playing better and anyone who can’t recognize that is an idiot.
They look better more of the time than they did last year. Consistency is our problem which makes it doubly frustrating for fans. We know we have guys to can get in there and make the plays, but for whatever reason they don’t do it with enough consistency. That could be a size thing.
We got them just where we want them. Speed of Charlie Thomas off the edge. Who cares how big the OT is, he gonna have to wave as Thomas flies by on the way to the QBNo Gibbs, no Gleason, no Domineck, no Ryans. Oliver back to S. Charlie Thomas at DE??? I don't know which way is downfield anymore.
