I think high arm tackles were exactly the form we were using. and Davis actually attacked the helmet like that.

@Year2: Florida’s defense fell from 3rd to 17th. Explosiveness is the largest component of SP+, and, well, *gestures at Elijah Moore and backup DBs*

Grantham...3rd and 17, hold my beer

Not having to play the 2nd best Offense in the league again will help tremendously.
Recruiting better players is a close second.
Coaching better is a close third.

if you didn't notice how bad our defense sucked without David Reese the last couple of years you haven't been paying attention.

Honestly, there's probably not a whole lot that can be done this year. It's the position we've put ourselves in through recruiting

first and foremost we need another linebacker badly

He got very limited reps at LB, but David Reese part two looked decent on his 10-15 plays at LB. At rush/buck, he was easily handled and just outclassed. Perhaps our answer for David Reese, is David Reese.

1. tackle better. This will improve things tremendously.
2. discipline. DL basically said F it to their assignments
3. score more points.
4. be a good team running the ball

I think that is about all we can hope for this year. The tackling part doesn't scare me so much since there wasn't a lot of contact going into this game. Ole miss tackling sucked too. What really scared me was we got very little pass rush.

You can't fix stupid!!!

One thing that is clear is that Granthams scheme is a freaking joke. Combine that with our inability to really run the ball with authority and it spells disappointment down the road. Bank on it. Todd has got to go and we had better recruit some interior this year.

We have tackled bad for how many years.. D line has been arse save a saving grace transfer last year. Greenard was a much more complete player than Z (ymmv). Lot of hype. It is coaching and recruiting.
