Next Year U! So you blame this year D on the player deficiency and not on scheme or coach?
You think Aranda forgot how to coach over the offseason?

O failed to recruit this position unfortunately during his tenure as dline coach and recruiting coordinator.
Do you know the Head Coach has the final say-so on who and how many of what position to recruit?
You are correct, recruiting under Miles did suffer. Not in the number of 4 or 5 stars. But balancing a roster and how to use players.

Not to mention that TK Mclendon will be a defensive lineman and ED O said the other day he is already up to 270 pounds and runs a sub 4.8 in the 40. Jarrell Cherry will also be a defensive lineman playing a lot next season and he is even faster than McClendon. Then I believe they will move Soni Fonua to the defensive line as well at about 285 to 290 pounds and because he came in as an outside linebacker, I bet he is also pretty damn fast as well.
Hence, hopefully, we will have a good pass rush next season with only a four-man rush.

Same ridiculous thing we used to say about B12 offenses.
Are you saying Vandy, ole Miss are better than most teams their schedule? Several teams had offensive highs Vs vs LSU.
Our defense has issues, pretending it doesn't ain't helping you.
It's fixable though, which is the frustrating part.

The defensive front 3 aren’t the problem

The issue is the big play. Saw it vs A$M last year, have seen it a lot it this year. Second level shite, mainly LBers out of position and safeties missing tackles. . 100% fixable. He's done it before
After an entire season and 2 bye weeks, he hasn’t fixed it. This is the problem. I’ve trusted him to this point, but for what he gets paid, he absolutely should be questioned and held accountable for this defense’s below average results.
There has been a lack of improvement, and in some case, regression on the part of the D. They keep making the same basic assignment and tackling mistakes over and over again. This goes hand in hand with giving up more big plays and it’s a problem.

It's not something that takes time to "fix"
They will show out this weekend

Because it’s the least affected by outside factors. And it’s funny you mentioned 3rd down because that’s one of our best metrics. 17th nationally and 3rd in the SEC.
Run this stat for 4th quarters. We have had problems closing games by getting stops when they count the most. We’ve had to field 3 onside kicks to seal wins this year because the D couldn’t close the game out. That is a problem when you are making a title run.

They have everyone they had last year, this year with more depth. A lot more depth. 2 key players, Devon White and Greedy Williams left. The rest were back. Stingley replaced Greedy. Can't replace White. But you sure can be disciplined and able to get pressure. Really makes no sense that this defense would digress.

I think it’s clear that he’s adjusted his coaching based on the new offensive scheme and that adjustment hasn’t been smooth so far.

Well ok, if that's the explanation why don't people give him a chance to get a handle on it.
He's clearly good at his job. Maybe this type of adjustment isn't instantaneous no matter who the DC is.

Seriously? Based on what you have seen to date, what gives you any indication that the LBs are suddenly going to start holding gaps and playing correct assignments? They are what they are. Whatever adjustments have been made haven’t worked.

For the most part it has. We just have periodic breakdowns.
Let's finish the season out before crucifying the guy. We will win or lose on this defense. They have to rise to the occasion.

So we shouldn’t expect our DC, who makes more than any other DC in the game, to fix basic execution issues over the course of a 12 game season with 2 weeks off?
He has to be accountable if the defense isn’t just not improving, but is actually getting worse. If you disagree, go re-watch the 2nd half of the Ole Piss game. I’m watching State’s inferior D keep Plumlee in check right now.

Have you seen this defense close a big game yet this season? I’ll answer for you- you haven’t. I hope that changes, but I have 0 confidence in his ability to fix this D at this point.

Trust me, if the defense costs us a game this will be a long offseason for Aranda
It's not that bad though but strangely I fell better about facing a big 3rd and 3 than I do 3td and 13.

Yardage on 3rd or 4th down hasn’t mattered. This D hasn’t gotten a stop when it mattered vs Texas, Florida, Auburn or Bama in the 4th quarter.
