Manhandled by Auburns OL or DL?

I was casually watching on my phone as our game was on at the same time, but your DL and LB we’re getting run over and pushed back on some of the plays that I saw. (mostly 1st half)

Just wasn’t used to seeing that from your defense. Maybe it was just bad timing.

We definitely were not manhandled.

Our DL is not what it was in 2021 or 2022, though.

They aren't chasing down QBs on the edge.
Nor are they holding double teams as well.

Freeze ran an offensive style that he had not done all season. It was also his first game calling plays.
Our linebackers where a step slow in recognition (combined with the DL not being superhuman), and they (LBs) could be reached at times.

Teams are playing a ton of misdirection. As we get more reps, I expect more tackles for loss on those (slower developing plays). But right now, we are slower but disciplined reading keys
