We’re seven games in. When do we see consistent and better play from the defense?
That's a great question, and one Mullen needs to address with Grantham. There's no excuse. Dude makes nearly 2 million $$$$ a year.
Sean Davis was guilty on numerous occasions and I point this out because he usually brings the effort, but his technique was pretty poor. He wasn’t the only one.
I said last night I "usually" like Sean Davis in coverage, but his tackling is horrendous. Dude whiffs on more tackles than anyone I've ever seen before. And the rest of the DBs seem scared to even attempt to tackle.
*Good to see Gamble step up in Pitts’ absence. Between him and Zipperer, we haven’t lost a step, but just the same, I’ll be glad to get Pitts back healthy. He’s still pretty sporty and a matchup nightmare.
Pitts is a matchup nightmare because he creates good matchups for other guys when teams scheme to limit his catches. He makes a difference just by being on the field.
*Toney, Grimes, Shorter, et al are a pretty special group.
Really happy with Shorter this year. I didn't know what to expect from him with all the talk about him not getting playing time at Penn State because he was a lazy out of shape fatty. Doesn't look that way at all to me. Looks like a baller.
Seems like forever we’ve always had double figures in penalties. I hope this trend continues.
100% agree. It's nice seeing a more disciplined team for a change.
Enjoyed the read C2!
