Our defense is awful. It's just plain bad, the worst we've had in a long time.
2007 was the worst defense period, by far and its not even a discussion.
Just the safeties and a lack of pass rush. The safeties are terrible and thats the unit Muschamp coaches on defense, the safeties. Our run defense has been pretty good. Outside of Fowler we can not generate a pass rush. Cant believe we didnt throw any blitzes at Sims and played a soft zone when our front 4 couldn't even get close to Sims. The biggest failure of this game was not letting VH3 cover Cooper on every single down and that is all on coaching. I sometimes think coaches out think themselves and call plays that will make them look like geniuses if that certain play works. For instance if I was Durkin I would of just told VH3 this "Your on Cooper the entire game, your mission in life is to make the next 60 minutes a living hell for that guy" and just let him roll with it. Any ways the defense gave the offense 4 turnovers, not to mention a shanked punt that gave the offense great field position. Any decent offensive production and we win this game. I cant blame the defense 100% for all the yards giving up. When the offense continues to be a 3 and out machine, they are going to get gassed and then miss their tackles.

Do you know WHY our defense was so bad in 2007? We won the BCSCG the year before with a senior laden defense recruited by Zook...in 2007 we TWO starters return (one was Tony Joiner?)...that's it. We took our lumps, lost to AU at home, UGA (the celebration in the end zone after dominating them for a while)etc etc
To Charlie Strongs credit the next year in 2008 he transformed the defense into a great unit..with Spikes, Doe etc etc

Ok....maybe you want to let them pound the ball on us instead? Good offenses will burn you with blitzs. Our gameplan was to limit rushing the ball period...which I agree with....but Sims played like Dan Marino and hurt us. Boom has more knowledge about defenses under his little fingernail than most folks have in their whole brain. What happen was simple...they executed and even when VH3 was tightly covering Cooper he made catches....the best play was when Cooper was called for offensive interference and we had Bama at 3rd and 23 tied game....what do they do? Screen to Henry (#27) for about 25 yds down inside our 10 yd line. Henry executed...broke a lot of tackles...he is a hoss. There was no lack of effort from our guys.
