The DEs watched as every outside play went by them.That means 2 issues...
1) Our guys aren't smart enough to read
2) We have sh*tty explosion off the line
Like stupid stupidDE #88 was abused repeatedly
My 88 year old dad could see it. On that last drive he was screaming “watch the sweep” before the snap when #6 went in motion. He was so mad 😡I seriously question what we did in film study this week. NM kept running the same play, and we couldn’t recognize it. I could see it coming from my couch, but they couldn’t on the field.
There are players all over this defense who wouldn’t be in the two deeps on some of these MW defenses. The talent isn’t there and the poor coaching really exposes it. They were physically dominated by New Mexico. Normally we see the two to three turnovers that flips the script but when those don’t show up it’s bad bad.DE #88 was abused repeatedly
That jet sweep killed us time and time again. Our LB's never did run up on the line to contain the edge. That and the run option they ran made our defense look like peewee football out there.I seriously question what we did in film study this week.
