I count 7 players out on defense and at least 2 playing hurt.
Cummins, McCulloch, Floyd, Tillman, Green, Thompson, and Brown out. Overshown hurt. Foster is playing hurt.

Along the D line we are in decent shape.
DL class breakdown looks like this: 4/3/1/6


LB is worse. Our only upperclassman LB is out, and of his 2 freshmen backups one is also out. We are also out a freshman MLB.
LB class breakdown looks like this: 1/0/4/6

DBs were a problem area going into the year. We have one senior and 4 juniors in the secondary, and one of them (Brown) is out.
Green and Thompson are also out, and Foster and Overshown are hurt. 
DB class breakdown looks like this: 1/4/8/4

The fact is we are very young (and that is no one on this staff's fault) and we had little margin for injuries, and we've had more than our share.

That doesn't excuse our atrocious play. Much of our problem starts with lack of pressure and blitzing too often, and too ineffectively.
Our LB corps is young and thin, so when runners get to the second level, or routes go shallow middle, our LBs get exposed.
And our secondary is just getting exposed. They have the physical tools, but they're not playing well - especially open field tackling. That's coaching, I believe.

I *might* buy this against teams not named Kansas. At home.

Tom may get his wish to talk about Kansas this week.  What an absolute shit show.  I completely agree with Michael Griffins take on the game.  Pathetic Defense, I don't give a damn how many players are out.  

And on the injured players note, how many are injured because they have no fucking clue how to tackle.  I know Brandon Jones tackle form had him in the locker room.  

Said the exact same thing about 100 posts ago. The way we go about tackling is unreal. And our DB's NEVER NEVER NEVER look back for the fucking ball.

    Until he plays our D next week

  • It’s because Texas got its ass whipped on both sides of the ball.  9 sacks allowed on offense, Greg Davis specials all day and starting every drive deep in own territory due to repeated stupidity

  • Take the W, pussies

Iowa State, Baylor, Even TTU now could be losses.

If we show up with this D- defense and get anyone's better than average game, we're gonna be in a dog fight every week.  

So the real winners act like losers when they win?
yes

I think we lose 2 out of 3 at least. We also drop @TCU.

they’re coached to watch the receiver.

I'll save you the "if"  we are going to be in a dogfight every game.  Baylor is likely a loss,  ISU will probably beat us, they are due.  Until Herman decides to fire orlando and get a real DC and a real DB coach we are proper fucked.

Could? We just got butt fucked at home by Kansas. We are for sure losing to Iowa State and Baylor. TTU is likely

Every game is going to be a war, any of them could be losses.

Oh my goodness, we havent had DBs look back for the ball since Akina left. Who the fuck can defend a pass with their back to the football? It is basic high school level shit.

KState is awful, but will have their best offensive performance against Texas.

I don't think TCU is anything special either. Not that it matters - because if the Horns play those games like they played tonight, shit is going to be ugly (uglier).

If Orlando taught the defense to bend over and spread their ass cheeks when the ball was snapped, we wouldn't miss any less tackles than we are now.

Not against Orlan_o. I bet he throws for 400 yards and 4 TDs.

I love how our D line acts like they’ve never seen a running QB. The edge seals itself inwards and allows for 8-10 yd carries every time a QB takes off. Just amazing 

Kansas: The Jayhawks came in with the worst offense in the Big 12
Texas: The Longhorns defense came in as the worst in the Big 12

 

One of these finished better than when they came in

TCU beat this KS team 51-14...

Every game could be a loss the rest of the way out with this shitshow of a defense.

Fucking this!  I see this every fucking game over and over again.  If a play is made at all it is after the catch.  There is no anticipation or preparation to defend the pass in the air.

What did you guys think of putting RoJo in the wildcat? I liked it a lot - it provides another blocker for the run without exposing Sam, and we could have a jump-pass counter play out of that formation.

I hated the Jake Smith wrinkle in that situation, but I like the concept for goal line/short yardage situations.

yeah you seem real educated on the subject.  they are coached to not turn around.  sorry, chief.

After sleeping on it and surviving a hangover. I have decided our shitty performance is due to the lack of a proper game thread. 
 

For shame surly.  For shame.

I bet he doesn’t. You’re being overly emotional. Try testosterone injections.

I think it was a stupid ass wrinkle to put in a game against Kansas. Would have been nice to see last week.

I get that everyone is close to suicide, but you obviously haven’t watched TCU play.

TCU looks bad, but they still have talent on offense. Delton could run zone reads all day and im not sure we would hold them under 30.

I watched them beat Kansas 51-14 and their def is a touch better than ours 

Sweet lord. Seems I picked a good weekend to go to the deep woods of East Texas where there was no LHN. 

The truth is that KU is going to get better (and are) and Texas isn’t that bad. Defenses were bad last night but we have a new OC and newer schemes from 2 weeks ago. Our OC is a record setting guy. That’s good at any level. Chip Kelly came from a Small school and had great offense at Oregon. No reason Dearmon can’t be a success. 

UT will play better next week and is still a 10 win team. Ku fans have to be encouraged in week 1 of our new offense.
