Despite having 4* recruits throughout the depth chart, our D line was absolutely gashed in all the games last year except Zona. On many plays,, Utah and Stanford's RBs could have picked up 5+ yards against our defensive line if they were walking. I kind of wonder if this was part of the reason Malloe was moved.
The good news is they are supposedly hitting a lot more in camp and are aware we need to be more physical.
I think it would have gotten better in time, but when you give up short passes because of scheme, it amplifies the need to shut down the run.

I feel scheme was a bigger factor, and I think we saw that as half-time adjustments between the first and second halves of Ute and Furd
Scheme and piss poor reads and run fits by the linebackers and safeties. The DL isn't always to blame for bad run defense. They're not the ones who should be making all the tackles.
Ulofoshio was good, Sirmon was horrible, Tafisi is as fast as thick mud, and Turner struggled with his vagina flaring up.
Being black might but Jimmy an extra year. This isn’t Ty Willingham though. Jimmy didn’t inherit a downtrodden program and he didn’t come here after a high profile firing that the media wanted to blame on his race.
Jimmy’s skin isn’t the problem. Jen’s incompetence is.
This is the brother of Eastern Washington receiver Andrew Boston who has been a 3rd team Big Sky receiver his last two seasons. I thought Andrew Boston would have been a solid Pac 12 player and I think that Denzel will be too. He looks to have good speed and good ball skills. A lot of his big play highlights are him catching contested jump balls down the field which is something we've lacked in our WR room for a while now.
He does look a little stiff to me which isn't the end of the world. If he has good straight line speed and can catch jump balls than he'll be valuable to us after 2-3 seasons of development. He has a similar skill set to Ty Jones but I think Ty Jones is a little better athlete and is a better "run after the catch" guy but they both have great downfield ball skills.
Ty Jones caught jump balls because he could never get separation consistently. He also dropped way more than he caught.
He didn’t catch very many jump balls. Cuntslice is right. Jones sucked.

in the woke 2020's, there is zero chance a black coach gets fired unless he molestes a kid.
I do think 8-4 type seasons get him at least 5 years.

We really need Jimmy to be good.
Like they should’ve.
bad coach = 10 years
I'm not getting younger
It's hard.
