Ansley is defensive coordinator too? Wishful thinking, perhaps....

I'm glad we have guys like Wagner to help the young guys out without worrying about themselves. It's a very good move for the future defense.

I think Gray raised a very valid point that most fans have over looked. "In this system, first year, everybody’s a freshman out there." I can't wait to see "sophomores" and "juniors" in this system.

He's not looked to great, and he along with our secondary lacks speed. Gray brings the speed, which is what hurt us for the majority of the year, along with poor tackling.

Nice article +1. Gray is one of those 'projects' that seem to be panning out.

I know our corners are getting most of the flack for deep pass plays, but if you go back and look at them, the safties are late breaking on the ball in almost every deep play. They need to leave the zone alone and run more man to man. We have the speed at corner to do it. And play more doggone bump and run, we get killed underneath as well.
Too Easy...
