We still have enough tallent to make up for that. That was one of our strong points at the beginning of the year. Our depth has dwindled but we are still 3 deep at every position except safety.

Our defense has more holes than swiss cheese in the Vatican (holy swiss...holey swiss...get it??? eh, never mind...) WM is to Georgia Defense what Jim Donnan was to Georgia Football. Hey, Willie, the Tennessee job is open, nudge nudge wink wink.

I concur with all of the above. A defense has to play with a passion for hitting and a meanness that ours does not have. We need players to step up in leadership roles, and coaches who instill a desire to hit. CWM doesn't seen to be the man. Is there an Erk out there?

Yea there is an Erk out there. his name is Will Muschamp! If he is over looked for a HC position this year i say CMR go get him. i know it would be a long shot for you(CMR) to pull the trigger on willie, but there are better DC out there i promise. hey tuberville might be available soon..

Devils advocate here:
what if willie doesn't think he has the talent on the outside to blitz as often as he should? There has to be something going on in his brain that he doesn't trust the defense. We play a loose defense with an uptight personality.

Yeah, I agree with you guys. I'm usually supportive of all the coaches. but something has to change. This is ridiculous to be giving up the amount of points the D is giving up. I understand injuries, but we have outstanding depth. The O line has been decimated with injuries, but is still performing. When I think back to the dominant FSU and Miami's of the late 80's and 90's, their defenses were FEARED. We need some teams to start fearing our D. Usually opposing OC's look forward to playing us because win or lose, they will probably have a record setting day.

We don't have that big hitter this year either. We need a Thomas Davis, Greg Blue type head hunter to give the D that swagger and instill that "fear"we all so desire.
