Pretty good assessment but I don’t know if I agree with:
I’ve seen Young quite a few times this year fire off the ball and blow up some runs plays. I understand he was talking about pass rush, but we really haven’t seen anyone put up consistent pressure. QBs we’ve faced just don’t have to hold onto the ball very long because of busted coverages from the middle defenders. If we can shore up the coverage assignments from our safeties and ILBs, I think we should a lot more pressures ending in sacks. 47 imo is one of the better guys on the DL at collapsing the pocket and driving his guy back towards the QB.

A note on #47. He is not a super explosive player, but gets good push, has good hands, discipline in technique and pushed the pocket well.

They're working on fixing coverage assigments and mistakes. The halftime adjustments made vs UGA showed we're making some progress -- the defense settled down and played better. Still more work to do, but as long as I see ongoing improvements where needed, I can be patient.
