If the defense and LB’s don’t drastically improve next year Tosh should be fired. I know we’re short quite a few LB’s but Keith Brown is in the wrong spot more often than he’s in the right spot, he’s not a rookie, he should be better. Tosh should be teaching LB’s better than this.

Sadly I have to agree. This defense is so bad. Win or lose, Lanning needs to address our so called "defense" this offseason.whosyourwally wrote:I know there’s a million “reasons” why our defense is allowed to look bad this game. But they’re ******g terrible. UNC’s D is every bit as short handed as ours.
I mean it’s baaaaaaad.
Baaaaaaaaaaaad.
Bad.

Do you wonder why the majority of the players signed last week are defensive guys? Lanning knew he had to clean the house on defense when he interviewed for the job. Mario and Salavea were horrible at recruiting on the defensive side of the ball and it's showed this season.alxtw wrote:Our pass rush is so bad and secondary is horrific. Perfect recipe for a good qb to have a field day.
I understand that we re playing with many opt outs and transfers. But these r the players we will see on our defense next year. Its very worrying as lanning was thought to be a defensive guru and do what lincoln riley has done for usc’s offense. He will have less leeway in year two. Ironically, since lanning has arrived, our offense has improved and is looking bright for the future.

Is it just me or does it seem whenever the Ducks make a mistake it is often of the heartbreaking, crazy momentum shift variety than other teams?

I want you to be right. Next year will be telling. Part of coaching is putting the right guys on the field.lmduck wrote:Do you wonder why the majority of the players signed last week are defensive guys?

You first have to get the right guys. With the exception of a few guys Dan does not at this moment have the people he needs for his scheme.whosyourwally wrote:I want you to be right.

Our secondary players are actually decent, and have made nice plays in one on one situations tonight. It’s the complete absence of a pass rush/finish ability and poor underneath coverage by the LBs that kills us.
Freak INT totally flipped the score. Could easily be 21-14 in our favor.

Cota was there on the other side of the field but he didn't even look that way.

Problem is, they haven’t even attempted to throw downfield, not loosening the D. Not sure why, with a depleted secondary on their part.

His reads are poor with rcvrs open but he does not see them.Duck07 wrote:Cota was there on the other side of the field but he didn't even look that way.

Exactly, almost feels like Mario is calling the plays.Everythingsducky wrote:Problem is, they haven’t even attempted to throw downfield, not loosening the D. Not sure why, with a depleted secondary on their part.
