Defensive changes/personnel

[Soonerpeace]

I’ve said this many times. The scouting department and Duke rely heavily on the DC in the draft. It’d be stupid to force players on the staff. But I’m convinced some of the players drafted that haven’t panned out are on Lou. Also a comment by Duke that we need players to contribute right away was a reference to Lou. I like what I’m hearing from Al on the consistency and seems likely a different approach to OTA’s and camp. I’d expect they’ve not let the defense be very aggressive in order to protect the offense. I’m no X and O guy but I know several coaches ( many retired) in both college and NFL. Many say offensive minded coaches restrict the defense in practice. Likewise defensive minded head coaches are brutal in practice. Sounds like Al is ramping it up and the slow starts has Zac on board.

Another thing important is identifying and playing the right player. Coaches get prejudiced for a lot of different reasons and dig in. Saban, Parcells, and Belichick were the best at no bias. The bottom line is the drafts recently and free agency lack luster recently. The slow starts glaringly bad. The OL poor. Now the defense poor. A lot to fix. But the offense looks strong. Gesicki and Isovias are going to take a step up. The defense if it can improve could get us back into the hunt.
