What exactly is he talking about? Most DL line up square to the LOS. Simmons lines up ready to jump in the backfield any time he’s not dropping (foolishly) into coverage.

My best guess is he saying we are doing a lot of 2-gapping on the DL and not letting the DL loose.

Haven't read a good defensive breakdown post Arky and was hoping something was linked here.  I fully realize Arky has one of the better offenses in the nation and that we were missing Hill, but from the stands, I was surprised how easily they were moving it on us most of the first half combined with shit tackling and receivers running free.  Taffe had one of his worst games I can recall.  Hopefully that was just rust and he'll be better this weekend and hopefully Hill can play, because we're going to have to have a better defensive performance than what we showed most of Arky game to win Friday.  

This is going to get very negative as the week goes along and people delve into the Ark game. The middle of the field was wide open most of the game. That said Kade Phillips was really good, despite the PI.. He was 2nd on the team with a 76.6 PFF grade (Colin 91.5). That is a hell of debut for him. 

 

  • OLB Colin Simmons, 43 snaps, 91.5 (overall grade)
  • CB Kade Phillips, 51 snaps, 76.6
  • DT Travis Shaw, 16 snaps, 76.2
  • CB Graceson Littleton, 32 snaps, 72.7
  • SS Jelani McDonald, 48 snaps, 71.5
  • DE Ethan Burke, 33 snaps, 71.4
  • FS Jonah Williams, 21 snaps, 68.5
  • SS Xavier Filsaime, 34 snaps, 67.9
  • CB Kobe Black, 27 snaps, 67.7
  • DT Maraad Watson, 33 snaps, 67.6
  • CB Jaylon Guilbeau, 20 snaps, 66.4
  • MLB Liona Lefau, 44 snaps, 65.7
  • CB Malik Muhammad, 48 snaps, 63.8
  • DT Alex January, 33 snaps, 63.3
  • MLB Ty’Anthony Smith, 35 snaps, 62.6
  • DT Cole Brevard, 23 snaps, 61.7
  • DE Colton Vasek, 19 snaps, 61.5
  • SS Michael Taaffe, 62 snaps, 61.5
  • DT Hero Kanu, 31 snaps, 59.3
  • FS Derek Williams Jr., 22 snaps, 57.9
  • DE Lance Jackson, 23 snaps, 57.7
  • OLB Brad Spence, 22 snaps, 57.6
  • DT Lavon Johnson, 17 snaps, 57.2
  • DT Melvin Hills III, five snaps, 56.7
  • CB Warren Roberson, 21 snaps, 56.0
  • DE Justus Terry, 21 snaps, 54.4
  • OLB Trey Moore, 73 snaps, 54.0
  • MLB Marshall Landwehr, 11 snaps, 52.1
  • CB Wardell Mack, 26 snaps, 51.3
  • LB Elijah Barnes, 11 snaps, 47.8
  • DE Zina Umeozulu, 17 snaps, 36.7

Man, Trey Moore played a ton of snaps more than anyone.

Moore oftentimes doesn't look good on his run fills. I thought he was recruited to be a pass-rusher?

Yes, I know he isn't gonna displace Simmons

Maybe we are saving the concept of inside leverage for A&M.

Based on what I've seen of Reed, he looks most comfortable throwing crossing routes over the middle.

We need to disrupt the timing on those and force the WRs outside more often. Gotta account for their TEs, too.

Moving him To off ball was terrible decision. 

I was kinda looking forward to Moore and Simmons as bookends in our NASCAR package. I know we've been in that alignment, but it doesn't seem like it's been much lately. IDK why PK is trying to play Moore as a more traditional LB, but it ain't working against the run.

Idk if I've seen this specifically addressed knowing the snap count totals but--  is the defense simply worn the fuck down from the offense sucking so much earlier that they're just not as sharp and fast as before?

 

I realize management has done well overall with avoiding major injury losses but is this defense problem a matter of them playing too much overall through the course of the season?

One of the conditions of Moore’s return was more snaps at traditional LB.

Are you saying Moore (and his agent) wanted more reps at LB? I guess that's where he projects in the NFL.

If so, he needs to get a lot stronger at the point of attack.

It can't help.  Defense definitely hasn't looked the same ever since playing like 90 snaps against Kentucky.

I don't think so.

Look at the snap counts against Arky that @Codaxx posted - 30 guys got PT!

Yeah that's when things began to get slower for them after that last great series of stops
