maalox moment early

 

[BDMAN]

What was Baliey doing he slowed down on the play

 

[Champaign88]

The defense is just terrible. Slow, can’t tackle, can’t spy a running quarterback.

We might be in for another long day in the state of Indiana.

 

[ChiTown]

So far this defense is suspect…hope we’re not looking too far ahead to OSU game.

 

[The pop of Champaign]

Completely out coached so far

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Your average game against Purdue where we play like Beckman Illinois

 

[JSpence]

3rd and long is automatic for other teams. Infuriating

Also 1st and 10s, apparently.

My kingdom for a dominating defense.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Our corners and DB's are an issue. The only way to stop the short stuff is to move the corners up. If they do that....big plays can arise if they're no good in coverage. Not sure they have a choice. They're being picked on.

I guess they've been looking ahead to OSU for a few weeks now

Why is Aaron Henry so hesitant to put a spy on a running QB

Jojo was, he got too close to the LOS and Browne out ran him to the left. Pathetic start

 

[TheChief4Life]

We're 6 plays into the game... Take a step back...

Why is Henry hesitant to be aggressive on anything?

 

[Curbelo Fanboy]

Solid D so far. Lovely

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Explain. It's ok to criticize the guys on the field.

 

[illinigiant80]

Our defense is like soft serve ice cream.

 

[Jimbo]

Anyone who expected a win, let alone an easy win today doesn’t know Purdue v Illinois history.

 

[DERV64]

I hate watching this defense man....every week they slow, giving opposing offenses all kinds of room to move the ball.

 

[Fighting I 95]

Our defense looks so slow and awlays out of place.

 

[Ryllini]

JoJo! Damn!

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Why is Henry hesitant to be aggressive on anything?

How can you be aggressive when they're getting rid of the ball in less than a second? The corners have to tackle. Period.

 

[skyIdub]

Dude thought he was a cheerleader getting thrown.

 

[UCantHideYer]

Stick!!!
