HJS {l Wrote}:twballgame9 {l Wrote}:It's definitely frustrating to watch BC give up third downs on defense because they lack the talent to cover anyone and the blitz can't cover the talent deficiencies every time. It's not as frustrating as not burying a team with the offense when you have a chance and plenty of talent to do so.
Brown didn't get the defense equivalent of the best running QB in the country, nor are any of his frosh as big in terms of impact players as Hilliman and Alston and Outlow have been. And as all have mentioned, especially HJS, the one position that Spaz actually left some talent and depth was the O-Line.
The reason I crap on the O and give the D a pass is that the D is actually playing better with far less talent. Yes, they are infuriating at times when they don't blitz and guys run free all over the place, or they don't get to the QB and guys run all over the place, but overall, it's been pretty good. Good enough that they probably should be 6-2 or 7-1 right now, despite any deficiencies.
I just want to say I didn't read this until after my post. But, it's timing was perfect and it's predictability IB-esque. Thanks.
I'll give you credit, you are trying hard. Like the kid trying to get over the first step of the shortbus.
