Regarding the safeties, my concern is that Ransom and Downs might be better being in the box safeties. I don't see either one being a rangy, free safety type to help over the top. I'd mix in McClain and/or Hartford or Bonsu more to see if they can help us with the deep ball. Regarding the defensive tackles, I don't understand why Hamilton and Williams take so many snaps. I thought Malone played well against Marshall and since then he's disappeared. I'd rotate at least 4 guys at the two DT spots, maybe even 5. Guys have to put their egos aside. Also not sure why Williams is a 3 tech, body-wise he looks like a 1 tech or nose to me. Hamilton body-wise looks more like a 3 tech. I'm guessing Williams thinks he's some great pass rusher, hence him wanting to play at the 3 tech, but outside the one game he had against Tulsa (I think it was Tulsa), I don't see it.

Options are discussed right there in the article.

Jackson missed too many games to be on this list. But a mid-season list means nothing anyway.

Apparently, Ohio is the home of funk music and funk defenses.

Not the first time teams have had 12 men participating on the field. Just have to make sure you spot it - on the field or upstairs in the booth - and point it out quickly to the refs, because the refs sure miss a lot of calls. Not sure the refs would have called the penalty on Oregon had Day not pointed it out to them.

Braindead clock management

That's a tacky call on the OPI

Get closer Day get closer

Howard throw it away damn it

It's a valid strategy that helps preserve timeouts and time

If JT wants to play some DT he has a role, but the DE experiment with him has to be over.

Two timeouts gone

Why didn't they let them score? I don't get it.

We need more 5 man fronts going forward, and more blitzes. JT needs to sit a lot more, same with Tyliek

Only under 2 minutes does the clock stop

We have to let them score now

What the hell is JT doing on that 3rd down???

How about deflecting a pass against this short QB? Where is Tyliek?

Their kicker will make that kick 100 out of 100 times at this point in the game. He already missed his one kick earlier.

Fucking false start penalties are killing us

Need to go tempo here get in a rhythm and stay in a rhythm

When your DE crashes like JT does so many times, and you don't fill behind him, that's what your going to get - a QB pulling it on the read and running it.

Gabriel finally kept it. Good timing at the right time in the game.
