What's wrong with the defense?

There's always been a soft spot in our defense with TEs and bigger targets in the 10-15 yard range ... there was a breakup by BBK last night that was spectacular.
When you are short on DBs and playing guys out of their ideal position (i.e. Bryant on the outside inside of inside on the slot), you start to see a few more breakdowns. -
No edge pass rush and depleted secondary. Other coaches have finally figured it out.

DT/NG: We have 2 future NFL guys in Virta and Gains and a bunch of other interior DL that actually look pretty good but I think some of these guys are playing too heavy, we have no pass rush and little edge contain because we are overly focused on just playing two gap standup defense even on pass plays.
DE: Bowman and Bartlett actually both look decent as pass rushers, potato and the rest look like they are on a weight and speed program to plug the middle and replace Vea and Gains.
LB: Who the fuck cut off the supply of Rino Cum (tm)? Azeem looked like shit all season, Bieria looks weak and got run over all game last night, everyone is small, Mcintosh should have been moved to LB a season ago, Beavers is forgotten, and BBK is our best LB
CB: all either midgets, injured, or injured midgets
S: Rapp eyes dawg is the only good player, the other safeties hit like hard mother fuckers but are nothing more than high functioning retards in coverage.
The biggest worry moving forward has got to be LB, we look small, unathletic, and slow with very few young guys ready to come in and compete or improve next year. Every other position can be fixed with a little bit of better coaching. -
I'd like to see Joyner get a little bigger and play LB. I think biggest problem is the corners. Good thing is that WSU QBs throw picks and throw to a lot of midgets. What will happen in apple cup is they will catch some passes early and then get alligator arms as the game rolls on. Same thing happened to Utah.

No fa king way Joyner plays linebacker. Dude is 5’10” 180. You want him to grow 4 inches and gain 50 pounds in the offseason?DoogieMcDoogerson said:I'd like to see Joyner get a little bigger and play LB.

Murphy got worked last night. Rusty, did not look explosive like the beginning of the year.
Hope he shook off the rust.

DBs have been extremely bad the last 2 weeks.
The 3rd and long conversions have really killed us and that's the biggest difference between Stanford/Utah and the rest of the year. We were giving up 8 yard draw plays to Rutgers as well. We were just stopping them when we needed to. When you keep lettingbteams off the hook on 3rd and 8+, you're defense is going to look like shit. -
So much this, though to be fair Wellington flashed a bit to me last night. He might be a gamer.Houhusky said:

I will be so happy if Ngata, Beavers, Wellington, and Eifler surpass BBGAYSwaye said:
