No brace for JoJo.  Thats a good sign.  Makes me wonder what his injury was

I think I heard it was a back issue, and his family didn't want him to rush back to practice.

If Jahkeem Green is #4 that means Avery Anderson either changed his number or left the team

The defensive line is doing a better job of freeing up the linebackers to make plays. So, I wonder how much possible improvement along the line will ultimately impact Barry's play. It's possible that he (and a lot of other players, to be fair) were still trying to do too much in order to make up for inconsistencies elsewhere.

 

The main problem throughout the majority of the season to me was that Chinander wasn't calling blitz package plays, period. It seemed like in roughly 9-10 games he was calling plays where the linbackers were kind of just standing around in a run fit scheme.

Avery is still on the roster and still #4

 

But ... yeah .... that's kind of odd.  Probably not good for Anderson one way or the other.

Seems like they're planning on having Washington around for most of the season.

Hard to call blitzes if you can't trust the secondary to cover - look what happened against Iowa. I expect we'll see more blitzing this year.

I agree with your statement completely and that's a good call. But my original point was responding to the idea that our linebackers "weren't freed up to blitz by the defensive line." They weren't being coached to blitz all that much outside of the Colorado and Ohio State games.

Ah, gotcha. It'll be interesting to see how much different the defense looks in year two, there were so many things wrong it's hard to list all of the issues. Better S&C, players not being forced to play out of position, better understanding of the playbook, and even just more familiarity with the other teams in the conference will all change how the defense is called and how they play. I'm optimistic.
