re: I thought that this team could be ELITE

He doesn't get into a lot of the issues on the run game. He mentions tendencies with PNut and Frazier. And goes over a mental bust on another play.

From what I saw on Auburn, their DC does what I want from a DC.
Multiple presnap looks.
Multiple changes after the snap.

It doesn't allow Bobo to call guaranteed beaters.
And it slows down Gunner in his progressions and causes him to force some wrong read throws (presnap decisions).

The defensive film study was brutal. Riddle and Dinkins don't belong on the field right now. KJ Bolden is even more valuable than we may have thought.

Some was us playing base trying to keep it all in front of us, some is the fact big guys wear down and need longer to heal vs a team that had the week off.

I think it has been established fact that we are not an aggressive defensive team against the opponents scripted first plays (1st and 2nd down).

We want to see their gameplan before we get exotic.

I would also describe our base as a light box. We scheme to stop the run (stunts. 2 gapping). But we do so without dedicating extra bodies.

The light box doesn't work against QB lead power.

I know that we do not want the OC to dictate our backend schemes. But we cannot stay that light upfront against a 230+ QB that gets downhill with a lead blocker. We aren't that good at DL.
