Agreed. The defense needs to get fixed. Now.
The fix is the same as last year. They need to get pressure on the qb. When they blitz or rush more than 4 they have so much more success and the players seem to come alive. When they just sit back and let the offense run their game, they get gashed. They need to get more aggressive! Plain and simple. This "contain" sh#t DOES NOT WORK!
I agree with you. But isn't the "contain sh*t" and bend but don't break basically Pelini's whole defensive philosophy?
Yeah, and it worked with Suh for a couple years, but like everything else in football other teams have figured out how to expose it. No needs to evolve a bit. We should have beaten this team by 40 points. Not to take away from Smith, he's played a hell of a game
