our pass rush is pathetic

Can someone explain why our LBs run straight into the OL when blitzing?
 
It is because they aren't quick nor imposing for LB's at this level. Think of all the great LB's from GT in the last 20 years. Picture them in your mind and then picture our current lb's.
 
I did notice Marcordes blitz from the right side only to be completely and utterly undressed by Tar Heels LT. Usually the refs let a lot of that go but when the jersey is almost torn off the flag comes out, but not this time. Geez!
 
for me watching this defense for 3 years now, its all the same. Even if we don't have premier talent, the lack of fundamentals with eyes, lanes, and how you play defense isn't there. It has all the marks of poor coaching. On top of just ok or solid D1 talent. Are we this bad on D talent wise for the past 3 years...I don't think so...but the coaching is the same.

Then you add in a scheme i just flat out don't get at times....i mean gosh..its god awful to watch at times. Its so prevent, unaggressive and flat out uninspiring; guys are so far from the ball..I counted 4 DB's 10+ yards back on a 3rd and 8. Then we wonder why we can't get off the field on 3rd and long.
