Do we miss Pep?

I would say no! The run defense is better, as well as the pass rush. All against very good O lines. How refreshing to see guys giving 100% on every play. Now if our DB's could catch or in that case our receivers, we could have won both games. I really like the energy of the Defense and they are playing as a group, not as individuals. :D

Having a player like Julius Peppers is ALWAYS an asset. It forces opposing teams to game plan around him. Even then, the best laid game plan, peppers can tear apart. Just ask Gruden.

That being said, like I've been saying ever since we purged the roster, that we've been needing to go young across the d-line for a few years now.

I like the young energy, and their desire to prove themselves.

Our defense is the youngest it's been in years, and that's a good thing. Younger, faster, more energy. All good things.

    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
