Lots of crossing routes against our zone coverage ... picked on Beavers a lot after Victor got hurt

I didn't notice that many huge blown coverages. There might have been a few. It was more picking gaps in the zone. I was drinking throughout a lot of the game this time though.

They weren't blown coverages per se ... but you're right about the gaps in the zone

A better pass rush would have obviously helped, but Rapp let a guy run right behind him in the end zone. He didn't have any other threats either. It was so fucking bad, true freshman or not.

Given how we play our personnel and depth and incoming recruits I dont understand why Rapp is even playing SS.

Either Jojo mcintosh or Rapp should be learning to play the OLB position, they are just big enough to play the position in our defense, arent that great at playing the secondary, like to hit, and play the run decently.

Wooching is basically a rush end even if he is listed as a LB.

Our defense, right now, is basically a 4-2 with two completely wasted positions/players in Potato and Wooching at DE

Bierria and Victor (RIP) are forced to play as the only real LBs on the field and make up for the shit edge rushers. Just take wooching or potato off the field and play Rapp at actual LB off the line seems like it would work a lot better. Also makes the LB group slightly deeper and a bit more atheltic

A front 6 of:

VEA, Gaines, Quall

Rapp, Azeem, Berria

looks a lot better than

Potato, Gaines, Qualls, Wooching

Azeem, Berria

DBs have a tendency to look bad when the QB has an hour and half to stand in the pocket

Rapp at least has decent ball skills when he can get to the ball, but yeah his coverage is terrible.

HS DBs from Washington State IMO have a learning curve with coverage given that they aren't used to a lot of game situations in HS
