I'm not going to say they are back but there are signs of life.the secondary is sketchy at times and I'm not sure Lamar Jackson needs to be playing right now.

It's baby steps here of late.  They are playing better, and Bob appears to being more comfortable with his players to dial up more blitzes.  However, the secondary is really needing CJ back.  Lamar Jackson is playing like an AA compared to Lee, and that's not saying much.  And until the ten yard cushions and not looking for the ball techniques go away, being "back" is not really happening.

 

Now I've been saying this unit will look good against Wisky and Iowa all year.  Not saying they will hold them under 200 yards, but the match ups against those styles of offense with NU's defense and Bob's 3-4(with his insistent use of the base personnel) is not as mismatch versus a spread, fast tempo type offenses that will follow.

I hope so, but doubt it. I think we get boat raced the next two weeeks (possibly the next 8 weeks)

 

Only offenses that should scare you the rest of the season, not including bowl game are Ohio State and Penn State.

Wisconsin has the top scoring offense in the big right now.......Iowa is very physical.....Purdue can score too. Plenty to be scared of, including psu and osu

It's OK to admit they are looking better and better. Next week is the biggest test so far this year and the Blackshirts have not been this ready to show up all season. Look on the bright side

Wisconsin and Iowa are the definition of vanilla. Yes, they are good at what they do, but there is no guessing involved. Just line it up and be the bigger man. They don't have better athletes than us according to recruiting analysts. Let's go kick some ass in the back alley and stop talking about Wisky and Iowa already.

Haha! Was waiting for that from someone.

 

Shouldve said conference championship game against MSU....

Think our style of defense matches up better against teams like Wisconsin and Iowa.  The spread attacks that get playmakers out on the edges (Oregon and ASU) seem to be our biggest trouble.

Well then I can't wait for Ohio State and Penn State...

[Hunter94]

we still don't seem to be that swarming, attacking defense that we used to be.........bend don't break looks different than the Blackshirt defense of yesterday.......we used to dare people to attack us, this defense sits back more and tends to play zone, or so it seems to me.

I'm more concerned with what Barkley is going to do to our LB's. Hope the Dline holds up.

The bend/don't break stuff isn't my style neither, but if they hold opponents out of the endzone the way they have the past 14 quarters, I suppose I don't really care what it looks like.
