It’s been Pete’s defense for a more than a few years now

And they still suck.

Maybe it’s a feature and not a bug.

Just listening to Pete talk in interviews, he obviously knows all the lingo and ins and outs of defense. However, and obviously enough, this has to be effectively communicated to the players and I’m not sure that’s really happening with this bunch. It certainly didn’t happen yesterday.

It's a bit odd. We had the top defense in the country in 2024, but haven't been nearly as good sense.

Given 2024 he clearly knows how to coach a defense, just not sure if it's now a talent issue or what.

All we heard before the season started was how improved our defense was. So far, only the first half of the LSU game is the only time I've seen this defense actually attacking.

So did Pete call our defensive play cowardly last night or is that just rumor? Because if he did, and not saying he wouldn’t have been correct, that’s not gonna be well received by some of the attitudes you know are walking around a college football team.

this bye week they need work freaking tackling and run defense cause if you watch UGA game.. You can that as another L if we can't block the run.

I think it boils down to Pete doesn’t have enough time to sit with his defensive players like he used to. He’s got 100 other things to worry about and it takes that time away that he used to have to solely focus on defense
