Is this a reflection of the problems on defense or a contributor to them?

 

    I would love to know how many hurries he has. Because to my eye he is getting close, just can't get home. Hellz, this is true for most of the Dline. Close, but no cigar type of year so far. Teams really are trying to negate our rush with those shorter routes. 

 

    So it is more of how teams are playing us, than how we are executing.

Anyone that didn’t know that defensive end was going to be a MAJOR issue on this football team is a total nincompoop.

 

    It's cool you want to dismiss that teams are dinking us to death, just to keep your tired rhetoric alive? That fact does hurt your argument.

 

    At the beginning of the year, most folks thought our Dline was going to be pretty good. KK, and Poe wreaking havoc up the middle. Allowing Pep, Addy, Horton, and maybe one of the kids to get after the QB. On paper, that looked like a solid group.

 

    Evidently the opposition felt the same way. Because every team we have played, well, except Dallas that is, has dinked, and dunked us to death. The very best way to counter a good pass rush? Quick passes. 

 

    I mean, we get it. You love you some Kraken. And it's fine if you want to fight that battle until the very end. I mean, if it weren't' so sad, it wouldn't be so funny. But you have to see the irony in calling others nincompoops?

Peps conditioning is just getting into early season form. He had his first real injury in his whole career and it looks like the surgery went well.

Still among the best in the league. He's playing the run very well, getting pressures and a very Pep like sack, ff the other day.

Dude is the best we've got and is aging like fine wine.

      You know, there's something about this whole JAG thing that really just drives home the idea that to some folks, these players aren't real people, just names and stats.  Of course, it goes beyond sports. We're a sad, jaded species, us humans.

      Yeah, it's just dumb. Everything is year to year. I never understood how anyone could stay engaged as a Kentucky fan or duke fan as duke became a one and done factory like Calipari made Kentucky. The thing I liked at about UNC is that we primarily focused on recruits likely to play multiple years. We'd have pur occasional one and done but most of our pros still played multiple years. And the days of the Stackhouses, Wallace, Jamison, Carter, etc. playing multiple years is just over. And now you have your role players entering the portal every year to test the waters elsewhere. I don't blame them for looking out for themselves but just personally speaking I'll run out of interest quickly trying to get to know a whole new roster year over year.
