I have never seen anything like it. Where were the run blitzes, stack the box and make Franks beat one on one coverage. Nope lets just do the same crap over and over and hope it gets better. This team is exhausting!
How sad to have a defense that can't ever get off the field

Easy on the defense. Franks is an NFL caliber QB. He’ll do this to a lot of teams in his career...
Oh, no...wait. Franks sucks. Our defense is $hit.
I bet they’ll come out with some “nobody believes in us” crap on Twitter this week. Well, yes...we don’t. And why should we?
What’s sadder than that is there is a d line coach in Lexington looking for work named brad Lawing
I've been watching all the posts and you seem to be the only one who's on top of this. (besides me of course..lol) It is crystal clear to me that EVERYONE in our secondary literally does not want to make contact. They go out of their way to make it look like they are ohhhh so close to making a tackle, when in reality all they're doing is trying to figure out a way to not make contact. This happens play after play after play. It would be easy to call out one player back there, but they ALL do it. To say they are soft would be an insult to soft. The secondary wants NO PART of any contact, and it's blatantly obvious to see on every replay.
Glad you see it as well. Horn will fight blocks and tackle. Those other guys avoid it on a level I have never seen before. Fenton especially. His last move before contact is away from the ball carrier. It’s bizzarre and I can’t believe I’m seeing that at this level.
Muschamp will say don’t question their effort or their toughness. I’m questioning both. Probably wouldn’t to his face though, only because that would be rude.
I think Muschamp was sorta alluding to this very topic in his presser without actually coming out and saying it.
and there is a "defensive coordinator" in Columbia looking for a defense to coordinate
They do tend to mill around lots as if they are at a YWCA social--
If these guys were armadillos, they would be road-kill

when have you seen contact between Fenton and some dude or dudette in another suit?
This defense is hard to figure out. Last week we couldn't stop the pass, this week the run.
I will agree that the basic tackling technique is severally lacking.

Maybe we could join a one-hand touch league, not two-hand which would require more effort and we have an extreme aversion to close contact.. Anyone who believes that our defensive effort is worthy of the implication that they could resist the efforts of an overly aggressive group of trick-or-treaters is laboring under a severe apprehension. They chomp to the max. I honestly believe that Elliot would have been a better choice to replace Spurrier.
Careful. There's a few on this board who absolutely refuses to take a look.....in slow motion....to see for themselves our guys DELIBERATELY making moves to avoid any contact. It's kinda like seeing a forward pass, and then denying it ever happened. Whatever. I know for a fact our guys are doing it. The replays don't lie.
And I don't think we've had a stinking pass rush since he's been gone!!! No pressure on the QB today or any time in the past several years.
Brad was my coach in the 90s and I can tell you, not sure what more he can do with this bunch.We are not physically capable of getting off blocks, outside of Kinlaw consistently.We need more dudes.I really wish we ran a 1 gap defense, the guys we have fit that style more than what they wanna run.Fortunately we have bigger guys coming.Enagbare and Sandidge should both be around 300+ in another year or 2. Unfortunately they arent here yesterday.
We need a pass rushing DE also which we haven’t had in a while
I watched Roderick stop and wait on one Florida player and then watched him go around him
Both injured. Doing us no ffing good but gobbling up scholarships.
I'm hoping what I saw out of that young man is not his normal play because what I saw borders on pathetic. He should hope that game film gets lost. The future is not looking good.
No disrespect intended, but life's a bitch. This season has been agonizing. Just 2-3 key SOS-era guys on D could have meant 2-3 more wins.
Listen, this secondary is PLAYING THEIR $&@& OFF! Best I’ve seen at any level since the ‘81 Niners. I don’t even care about Election Day, I’m getting ready for Florida, it’s gonna be a 3 quarter game for sure. Now, be quiet so I can check my online banking......
Damn a$$ clown, and who didn’t honestly know it back in 2015? And who cares what Greg McElroy says about keeping this guy? His bell is still ringing from Travian Robertson, and Cliff Matthews. God I miss those 2.
