Have we hit the point in the Rhule tenure where we blame the strength and conditioning coach?

That’s not what I’m doing.

I was making a joke.

Rhule doesn’t have it. Used car salesman.

Butler is exactly who we thought he was.

I'm not sold either way on him. The DL and LB play have been very poor this year. I think the concepts and play calls have been pretty ok, getting guys into the right spots, they just don't execute. Seems like someone is always in the backfield or there to make a tackle, but they blow it, or a LB doesn't sink in coverage and they throw it over their head before we can get a sack.

This is crazy. We essentially run a 3-2-6, against teams that want to line up and pound the ball. We have no shot in stopping teams that dedicate themselves to running the ball with this scheme.

Not sure what's crazy. Watch the games, watch what really happenes when plays break down. The DL is undersized and can get pushed around some but LBs have taken poor angles all season getting washed out of the play, and they are horrible in pursuit and zone coverage.

I think we are agreeing? Why are they running a 3-2 with an undersized DL in the Big Ten? It’s like Butler still thinks Robinson and Nash are up front to take out blockers. The LBs have no chance to make plays with this DL in front of them. Jeudy shouldn’t even be playing.

Not having 4 big bodies to combat a team that wants to run on you all game is pure stupidity.

It’s damn frustrating seeing Iowa at the 2 yard line and we have three down linemen and the LBs are standing in the endzone. Guess what? They run straight ahead and easily score.
