Unbiased Daily: A&M's problems on defense was coaching/fundamentals, not talent

I feel A&M has talent on defense, the main problem is coaching and fundamentals instead of the talent base. I am not sure of Mark Snyder is a good enough DC for the job.

Let's take a look at what I mean by poor technique and fundamentals.

Chick Fil A Peach Bowl vs. Duke. Look at this play, and how the defensive lineman stand straight up and get no leverage at all vs. Duke's offensive line. This caused them to get no pressure at all, letting the flea flicker play develop without any trouble: LINK

And on this play, not one but two A&M defenders lose their man in man coverage, allowing for an easy dump off pass for a big gain. Even after losing their man they looked lost out there and threw their hands up, causing them to stall, instead of flipping their hips and running backward: LINK

The very next play Duke fakes a wide receiver screen and all 3 players on that side of the field bite on the wide receiver screen, leaving the receiver running the go route wide open, no excuse for that, 3 players biting on one route: LINK

It seemed like A&M had problems with play action all year, here is an example against LSU, where the entire front 9 bit on play action, leaving a tight end wide open behind everyone. The first rule of man coverage is to not lose your man: LINK

And then a game against the Grinders, just flat out poor tackling form and angles taken on this play, which led to a long TD Run: LINK

Anyway those 5 links I provided show video evidence of poor coaching/fundamentals. I know A&M had a lot of youth on defense but youth can not be chalked up to those mistakes, that is all coaching/fundamentals, concepts you learn at the middle school level. A&M needs a new DC to take the next step
