John Jancek???

I will not be upset if we see improvement and do not see the same mistakes week after week like we are now. I am also a firm believer that players "playing fast" make up for some of the mistakes we are seeing right now.

People have VASTLY over stated the lack of "speed". What is true is that unfamiliarity or hesitation makes guys "slow". I fail to see how a Fr replacing a Sr is likely to fix that aspect without resulting in ALOT more mistakes.

I agree 100% with the d-line statement as being key for next season. I believe Maggitt and Reeves-Maybin will be huge for the defense next year as our WILL and SAM LB play has not been very good this year but some of that is on the d-line.

Disagree completely. Sapp has played well. Brewer hasn't played horribly.

I think the key for next year is finding 2 safeties who can play and have that killer instinct like we have had in the past.

I think that's a coaching thing again. Randolph was a head hunter before. McNeil's claim to fame as a recruit was that he was a head hunter... and EXTEMELY aggressive player.

The secondary gets better with time imo with some quality back up coming from players now in development and maybe some of the Fr.

The big problems right now that seem to constantly blow things up for this D are the play of McCullers, Smith, and Toney. I hate saying that about Toney. He's giving his heart and soul but to me... Jancek should have made developing a replacement for him priority number one a long, long time ago. There are players on the team with more natural talent... and none of them are smart enough to learn the nickel position?

I maybe did not say it right but we are saying the same thing here and I believe the current players will play the game faster the more comfortable they become with this scheme. I agree with you that we have fast players who are playing the game slow.

We will have to agree to disagree on this one as I do not think our outside linebackers have done a good job at all of filling the gaps in run support. Now part of that could be the d-line is getting blown 2 yards off the ball and there are to many gaps to fill and the fact that they are second guessing themselves and not "playing fast". I think Maggitt will be an upgrade over either and from what we have heard Reeves-Maybin is going to be a good one.
