EJs hands have been tied a lot this season, but he's a smart coach. We were getting torched in man coverage first half and start of 3rd against Mizzou so what does EJ do?... He blitzes the hell out of Franklin didn't give him time to survey the field I thought that was a huge difference in the game. We were bringing pressure from everywhere right up the middle and off the edge Franklin started making some bad throws and got us some 3 and outs. I'm sure EJ didn't want to blitz like that damn near every down but we had no other choice.

I believe that EJ is doing a great job considering the hand he has been dealt. He has small guys at DBs, LBs who either can't line up or can't tackle, and a DL that while solid is very inconsistent (each play has an equal chance to dominate and get dominated)


Once we get some bigger LBs (6'2+ 235-245+), some DBs with size (6'1+ 200) and a DL that can play their game consistently, I think we have a top 15 defense year in and year out. Right now we are recruiting for it which is nice

What's there to respond to? He would be excited if we got those two guys just like all of us would.

It sounds to me the recruit is invested in his recruiting class. How strange...

I am sure he probably won't cry, but he used the term to express how much it would mean to him.

I laughed when I read it because it sounded like something. I would see posted on this board versus coming from one of our recruits

I just wanted to see if anyone would notice

Don't ever read the al.com comments. It's the equivalent of hitting yourself in the head with a 3 lb sledge (5x).
