We just kick an onside kick every single possession.

Shorter field, maybe we can get a turnover and at least the opposing offense will score faster so we can watch our offense for more time.

By sacrificing babies to the devil. Honestly nothing to do this year. Fire the staff and the start again.

Score every possession. Never punt.

Bench Stiner and Wilson. Throw the freshman out at safety and let them take their lumps and grow.

Stop being loyal to players from the last staff.
Stop playing 10 yards off WRs
It’s time for new blood at LB and Safety
Dexter needs to be starting
Diabate, Carter and Cox should be rushing the QB every pass situation

I’ll add to this...

Fire Grantham
Hire Derek Mason
Get Big on Dline
Get faster at linebacker
Sign 10 secondary players that are an upgrade (transfers, juco, higshcool) don’t care where they come from and do a complete overhaul in the secondary

Our defense is more talented than our offense.

This is all on coaching. Most of our promising players are young, but I just don't think Grantham has it in his heart to keep this up anymore.

The defense has pretty much all blue chips at underclassmen.

The players fricking us are all holdovers from McElwain.

Miller, Houston, Burney, Stiner, Wilson, etc. etc..

Miller and Houston are good on rush defense, but every McElwain era LB has been dogshit in coverage.

Miller and Wilson both had ints go through their hands

Players gotta take their share of the blame as well

Let the young DTs play
Where’s Hopper??
Let the young DBs play. Steiner and Wilson need to sit tf down and I’m almost done with Davis too.

I said it before, I'll say it again:

Coaching matters.

The problem isn't dropped interceptions alone.

This defense is always out of place.

We don't tackle well.

The blitzes are poorly designed and easily identified.

The safeties are playing like 20 yards off of the ball.

Our DBs are basically playing 7 - 10 yards off of their receivers.

LBs are horrendous in zone and man to man.

Safeties are bad in everything. Literally every aspect of the game. Catching, covering, run support, angles.

This entire defense is broken, the players are bad, but when it is literally every facet of your defense that isn't working, that's 100% on Grantham.

I think I’m done posting on this Gator board for the weekend. Everyone’s losing their minds over everything.

Y’all have a good weekend and get some fresh air

Another thing I have noticed is that the defense just looks slow and un-athletic this year. Might be because of shortened training routines and camps this year.

Losing minds hardly, every complaint and call to make changes with this defense is overdue
