This defense is horrid

[Joelist]

The speed and other physical tools are there. What is missing (and what is weird for a Lou Anarumo defense) is intelligent play. The bad tackling is technique. The receivers aways being wide open is bad zone coverage read and react. The run D problems are almost all mental errors not sealing an edge (usually the backside of the play) and as a result mobile QBs and cutbacks eat us alive. In short they are not playing fundamentally sound defense. What they need is intensive practices focusing on these things even to the point of no off day until they show they are getting them right.
