You would think with the scare last week, kinda, that they would have learned their lesson taking an opponent to lightly.

I'm not real sure this team is going anywhere with this defense ? It's just awful !!! Out of position, taking bad angles, poor tackling, over pursuit, looking dazed and confused, blown coverage, I mean everything.

I'm not real sure I'd let Schiano call another game as DC ? I mean Minnesota beat them on the slot guy running a quick slant from the left like 5 or 6 times in two offensive series including running it on 3 out of 4 plays in a row and Schiano kept blitzing the LB right out of the hole every time - just dumbfounding ????

Hopefully, Schiano is just a placeholder, until the next actual DC is brought on.  He was a "flash in the pan", as HC at Rutgers and just got lucky with a few good recruiting classes in a row.  Then, he completely bombed out in Tampa, his attempt at transitioning to the NFL.  Schiano's biggest strength is that he's a polished, East Coast communicator. (i.e. good recruiter, good interviewer)  His Xs and Os never wowed me, even when he was leading the best Rutgers teams in modern history.  He should go back to being a big fish in a small pond, where he's relevant..
