We win with offense; it has been 6 years, just accept it...

Since the arrival of Gus, we win with offense. It is not going to change. Few teams with prolific offenses have dominate defense. Stop bitching, calling for Johnson to be fired, and just accept it. The game is much more fun when

I agree. Kinda. I dont want to accept it but people who think we are all of the sudden going to have a old Auburn defense will be disappointed.
Not now. Its tough to have it both ways.

The reason it sucks like this is because you have zero room for error anywhere else on the field.
You can outscore your porous defense, but if you spot the other team points via offensive or special teams blunders, you lose.
Look at all the games we've lost since Gus has been here and they have one consistent quality: we gave away free points, either with a short field from an offensive turnover or special teams frick ups. This is why a good defense is preferred over a great offense.

I don't expect to have a shutdown defense. I expect to have a "decent" defense. I don't want to go back to Tubbs era, I love having Gus here and hope he retires from here. EJs scheme isn't even the prob IMO. We just need to get more talent on the defensive side period.

Ellis has done the best job he can with the players at his disposal. Now, the soft zone he likes to play isn't going away, he ran the same at South Carolina and I don't like it, but he's the best we can really do as far as DCs go right now.
