Gotta figure something out at OLB and DB. Opposite CJ we have NOTHING. It’s bad. OLBs are hit and miss. Some sacks but also bad against the run. SDSU MSU and SIU will have a field day if it’s not fixed.
An alternate green requires a simple swap of the face mask and sticker. Boom secondary helmet. Two helmet colors and 3 facemask colors and a couple sticker options and we have ourselves a ton of options. Its what Oregon does.
It’s not the actual deep ball though, it’s the threat of it. The defensive spacing changes because of it. Like I said in my other post, if we had a few more legit athletes out wide, guys like Bo would have a field day.
Counterpoint. We always suck on defense to open games and second halves. We usually get at least gashed if not scored on by opening drives. And if you look at how the game unraveled late, we had them dead to rights with 3rd and long and it took a desperation heave to convert. We make that play and who knows what happens.
