Honestly the biggest issue with the defense has been LB play and blown coverages. Most of Okie State’s explosion plays were due to a missed assignment, if the defense can clean those up they should be good. However with the LB’s they won’t be elite, it’s as simple as that. Last year we had Thieneman to cover up poor LB play, and they tried to make Koi this year’s Thieneman which he isn’t, so instead they’re over using the DLineman by doing things like having Bear be the spy and Tuioti play ILB. Even if the DLine and secondary end up playing close to how we had hoped this season, which is a legit possibility, they’ll still be held back by the LB’s. Unfortunately Bryton Michalkowski’s poor LB coaching and refusal to hit the portal really lowered the ceiling of the defense.GDuck wrote:Have you heard of any tells on the defensive side of the ball too? I haven’t but would be nice to know since the defense has been horrible too.
