We are putting an APB out for our defense. Unlike my uncle, I watched the Arkansas game on TV. It was simply jaw dropping how many passes the Hogs completed when there was no Gamecock defender on the television screen. To quote Lou Holtz, "you could have thrown a grenade and only killed one person." What the heck is going on? Walk on Marty Markett was the only one even near the WR. I threw up on the dog when we continuously lined up 10-15 yards off the slot receiver on 3rd and 5.
New plan.....
1) No complicated schemes. Pick 3 or 4 and stick with em.
2) Man up. Press man coverage and challenge the WR. No more lining up 10 yards off.
3) Drop the LBs back in coverage more. This puts more pressure on the dline, but hey we need all the help we can get.
4) Guard the TE. I know this is a entirely new concept, but I think we should give it a try.
