The DL can only do so much! The problem is the lbs and safeties aren't filling ANY lanes. I think some are scared of contact!! The rush doesn't get there because Fiasco plays 10 yards off. the DL has got zero help. Its been 5 or 6 verse three all season!
I see them hustling but they get worn down. They stuff THEIR gaps. This is a team game and the back half could be replaced with rubber bands.they are young but shy away from contact.
My understanding is he's a good recruiter. He has ties to the past (which is a good thing). He was a walk on and that could be invaluable if the next regime wants to build up the program again. Not just mention it for kicks and giggles.
When you watch NU get crushed the next two weeks look at how the DL will purposefully take certain lanes away and ask yourself, "who is suppose to filling the other open space?" Hint it's not a DLinemen. Closing their gaps is by design but It's a clueless scheme. Instead of attacking forward with the lbs, Fiasco has them running 8 yards away/back. They don't have the right depth (from scrimmage to where the Lb should be)The normal coach wants lane integrity/gap responsibly. Have them run downhill. Just because the D sucks, isn't on Parella. He's just can't overcome Fiasco and not a miracle worker. He also doesn't have a legit NT (350# space water) but the nose guy has done well imo. Hope it helps.
