Defensive Line

[Lexvol]

This d-line does more stunting than I can ever remember seeing. About 75% of the time they end up taking themselves out of position, or guess wrong.
Has anyone else noticed? It speaks volumes about the level of talent that UT has won 7 games with this season.

At first, I liked the way they were giving them different looks to keep them guessing. Didn't work out in the end. I do wish the corner had stayed home on the punt fake...

Note to Fulmer: Recruit heavy offensive and defensive line next season.

The do not know what containment is.

They didn't contain Newton at SC and didn't contain Russel last night. It's not a lack of physical ability it's a lack of mental ability.

They want to play balls out and go right after these athletic QB's. That's just dumb. If you do that the QB will win 95% of the time.

I think Chavis's defensive strategy plays into that. He wants the defensive line to stunt, to attack. That makes a lot of opportunities for a QB to run.
