the effort is there.  the d played hard down there.  we just lack athletes and coaching.  that's all.

Once that is corrected, hello Lynch Mob!

I just can't get over how ridiculously bad our secondary is.  Talk about a horror show.  419 yards?  12 yards a completion??  

Honestly, where do you even begin?

when players are too slow to get to a spot, you really can't start to "come around".  They lack the physical ability needed to play the game of football in the Big 12, brother.  They might not even be able to hack it in intramurals.  Seriously, if you put Ulla and Sekona out there in fraternity flag football, they wouldn't even come close to touching a flag.  

So I guess the great Ian Campbell is now too slow as well?  I think you have it backwards.  We have the speed but erveryone thinks they can beat the player to the spot like they did in JuCO instead of taking the angle.  If and when they ever figure that part out our D will show up.  If we have a bad week against a slow offence in CU then I will eat my words.  But you rewatch the games you will see progress albiet small progress.

No, Ian is weak at the point of attack.  Always has been.  It was just hidden a bit better when he was rushing off the end and wasn't getting knocked the f around like he does in the 3-4 when Tibs has him lining up on the outside shoulder of the f'ing guard.  

Watching the game right now Campbell so far has lined up on the outside shoulder of the tackle.  That's the how the 3-4 is played.  The DE line up on the outside of the tackles and the NT lines up on eith side of the center between the gaurd and center. 

WTF?

What part don't you understand. He said that Tibs has Campbell lining up inside the guard and tackle.  Well so far in the A&M game he is lined up outside the tackle because that's how you play the 3-4.  Your MLB opposite the NT will pick up the extra gaurd, the NT is supposed to pick up the gaurd and the center.  Leaving the DE's one on one with the tackles.  Watch San Diego or the Cowboys or New England play the 3-4.

when we got to a 4-3 "look" but have a LB at the LOS, Ian slides down.  He continues to slide down once the play begins and usually ends the play picking himself up off the ground after the guy that just planted him gets up.  yes, when we go to a 3-4 look, he lines up on the outside shoulder of the tackle.

it takes more than one game to say we've turned the corner, regardless of the "garbage" points and or yards that were gained.  If we were in a "prevent" defense, we suck at that as well.  We also played the worst fracking offense in the league (now 11th) and will play the current worst offense in the league this weekend.  So "turning the corner" is a bit much.  With the addition of X and continued efforts of Crews, maybe when we get to the ku, NU and ISU games we can begin to gage progress.

Please read my first post.  I never once said we turned the corner.  I know we aren't even close.  I said we are making progress as opposed to last year when we went backwards.

Last year, all we got was exposed.  We were always that bad.  Once people got film on us and we didn't have 2 special teams scores and an interception for a touchdown in one game, we were pretty much terrible on defense.  So far, this year's defense is just an extension of last year. Offensively, we have progressed.  I'm not trying to piss on parades, but the only thing positive about this defense is that Harold and J. Moore will be in it for at least 3 more years.
