PostScript to Scrimmage:
“…Defensively, just really underachieved. Right now, we’re not very good there. We’re not very good up front. We can’t rush the passer. We didn’t tackle very good today. We’ve got two weeks. We’ve got to get them better. We’ve got to figure out ways to get them better.”
Huesman gave credit to a veteran group of offensive linemen, and the rest of his offensive players, for making things challenging for the defense, but added, “defensively, we’ve got to get going there..”
THE DEFENSIVE WOES SHOULD BE ABSOLUTELY NO SURPRISE TO ANYONE.WE FAILED IN OBTAINING EXPERIENCED GRADUATE TRANSFER DEFENSIVE LINEMEN FROM THE TRANSFER PORTAL.SHAME ON OUR INEPTITUDE.
WE LOST 3 EXPERIENCED LINEMEN WITH MOTORS.
THIS NOW PUTS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PRESSURE ON OUR LBs and DBs.OUR LBs ARE NOT OVERSIZED.
WE MAY HAVE TO BLITZ ON EVERY PLAY IN ORDER TO PUT PRESSURE ON OPPOSING QBs OR CHANGE UP OUR DEFENSIVE ALIGNMENT.
IT ALSO PREVENTS THE OFFENSE FROM BEING CHALLENGED IN GAME PREP WEEK.
OUR OFFENSE WILL SURELY BE CHALLENGED v OTHER CAA DEFENSES COME GAMETIME.
