Title: Blaming the wrong unit
Post by: wesfau2 on August 03, 2018, 10:24:13 AM
No, not a paternity issue.  The premise of this article is that the defense has been the cause of the year-end struggles Auburn has had recently.  Admittedly, they could have played better in the Peach (I think even CDavis admitted that their hearts weren't in it), but the struggles late in the year are largely offensive.

If your defense is holding the opposition under 20 points and you're still losing games...that's on the offense.

In 2016, Auburn was allowing 334.5 yards and 14.3 points entering the Iron Bowl, but losses to Alabama and Oklahoma saw those figures jump to 361.9 and 17.1 respectively.

Last season, the Tigers were allowing 303.3 yards and 16.4 points per game after the Iron Bowl but losses in the SEC Championship Game and Peach Bowl caused those stats to rise to 319.4 and 18.5.

The leaders of Auburn's defense, coaches and players alike, are trying to ensure that doesn't happen again in 2018 and see if there are any adjustments that can be made before the season that can aid the Tigers down the stretch.
Hmmmmm...maybe not running the "man" at RB into the ground so that he gets hurt by season's end?  Oh wait...

You know I've had about all of that kind of talk I am going to listen to. 
You know how you play winning football? 
You play like Ed Gennero played.  He was a 140 pound halfback and he played like a wildman.  No! Like a rampaging beast!

Now you go out there and you tear their fucking heads off!  Then you shit down their necks!
Let us pray.

When the offense can't sustain drives, the defense suffers.  

This article is fake news.

Unless the Offensive Coordinator is accused of groping the towel girl.

You’ve predetermined guilt by putting the label “offensive” on the guy.  He might just be mildly annoying.

Judging from several in-game threads, the playcalling is beyond annoying.
