The worst pass D in FBS doesn’t get fixed overnight, especially against an offense like Memphis. Just gonna have to grit & bear it this season.

I think most of the defensive problem is wrong players for the scheme. Only way to fix defense in ST is change the scheme and I don't think they will.

Seriously? I’m not the defense coordinator. I have no accountability. I guarantee Crocker cannot do my job. Why should I have to do his? I want him to do his job and take accountability for this. Seriously. If you cant see with your own eyes that this defense is awful I am sorry for you.
I really don't understand how he can keep his job. Memphis (although they'll run more) is on track for 700 yards in total offense. Defense is pitiful

Uconn defense pathetic. Pathetic. The front three: charge them admission. The secondary: remove them from the stadium. Also Memphis (Fergeson 35 passes thrown), Uconn (Sheriffs 20 passes): needs to be the other way around. Throw the ball. Throw the ball. Play to win.

what does uconn have to do to win this game?

Score and recover every onside kick after each score?

I didn’t say it wasn’t awful...

I wanted to hear what you solution was. What players you would trade out. You can only use/hide so many players. Taking accountability doesn’t fix the problem.
Why is it my job to figure out what to do? Crocker is getting $300K+ to figure out how to best coordinate his defense. Not me. Do your job, Crocker. Take accountability for this!! I can only discuss what I am seeing. This is awful. I went to games last year and was shocked how bad the offense was. Give Lashlee credit. He has made progress with the offense. Still a long way to go but you van see improvement. But the defense has regressed to unbelievable proportions. How does Crocker get a pass?

The smug superiority is strong in this one!

Where are the trick plays? A few hook and ladders would work well in this game.

Amazing that we can’t ever get a fumble even by chance.

Just saw Edsall fling his clipboard in the air on that last 3rd & long conversion. Papers went flying.

Settle for below mediocrity. Good for you!! You must be proud!!!!

Not what I meant at all. I guess it doesn't take a genius to do that 6 figure income job you were bragging about earlier.

I’m not sure it is all Crocker’s fault. RE may share his philosophy. He hired him. Crocker can probably build a good D in his own way, we just can’t wait that long.

I would have guessed we were undefeated if you showed me our offensive numbers to this point prior to the season. I never saw this defense being so weak. I knew we lost a lot of guys but defense is our thing and I don’t think Diaco’s D would be nearly this bad with this group.

Yes the DC should take a defense from a Jack Nickolson wac job coach and make them AA players.

Learn the game dude.

I gotta say, in all of this mess of a game, the O Line has actually held pretty well. On that 3rd and 15 on our own 5 just now, the O Line held a solid pocket for BS

Aisles just got busy after that last TD. Can’t blame ‘em. This is pathetic.
