[QUOTE="SixthandWhite, post: 1940513, member: 1482"] Nice write-up. There have been a billion posts in this thread about our lack of speed on defense, but it's the playing out of position, missing assignments, and boneheaded mistakes that are really what's killing us, especially the linebackers. Jacas alone had 2-3 times where if he played his assignment, we could have bottled the play up for a short gain. Instead he bit on the fake every time instead of keeping discipline, resulting in big gains. Our coaching staff cannot and will not continue to allow that kind of stuff to happen. We've not looked good in many phases of the young season, but if we fix the RT position and get the defense to understand assignment sound football, I think we'll give ourselves a chance to salvage 6 or 7 wins.
