It's accurate if you look at bad gap control against Navy and Auburn and how both teams exposed our lack of gap control. Believe me this is Odom's defense with a touch of Cross on it.

It is accurate when looking at the losses that left most fans wanting to set their hair on fire. Those losses were predicated around neutralizing the defensive line. They took that out of the equation and what was left? A very soft Tampa 2 because the DC could be counted on sending extra bodies after the pocket. That's when the draws, screens and wheel routes came out and teams walked the ball down field.

Could every team to that? No, but the ones with comparable or better overall talent have had no issues doing so.

We won't even discuss the game vs Navy.

So you are saying when AU set every kind of SEC rushing record there was to set in 2013 it was because Ray, Sam, Ealy, et el. sucked? What about Navy, or OK, or bama, Nubs.
Or is pointing out it happens nearly every time we play a team that can run cherry picking?
