Need to be patient with the defense

South Texas never fails to disappoint.

Only 3 starters from last year with an entire new coaching staff. It wasn’t pretty. It was ugly. Just like last year as soon as the opposition got the ball you knew it would lead to a TD. On offense there were too many dropped passes again and they couldn’t run the ball. And too many penalties all together. Fortunately it’s just game 1 and Parkers defense should get better.

You yahoo’s who have already given up?

Hey Rocky, don't let the door hit you in the behind on your way out of this site!

Who are the penalties on?

Why is this still an issue?

Schotty is changing things all right. Under his “leadership” we now can’t even beat the team that they have been beating up on for a decade.

Penalties, lack of looking prepared, flat, mental errors, this is ALL on the head coach.

Okay what’s the offenses excuse ?

Only 2 possessions in the 2nd half and both tds. So you get stops maybe more points

I understand needing to be patient. Yes. Young defense. New coach, etc.

But the defense can’t be horrific while we are waiting. That’s not acceptable.

they should at least be making some plays and putting up a fight while we are being patient. There is no patient for horrific.

The WRs were WIDE open. It was unacceptable.

See his halftime interview? Smiling with his stupid aww shucks attitude. There is a reason no one else would hire him.

We have been getting better the last 30 years.

Patience is great if you need to clean up a few things. Last night was an Eberflus level performance though. We need a significant turn around within a week or else there is legitimate danger of starting 0-2 with both loses within the division and the schedule getting harder. Not over yet but This isn’t baseball or football where you have long seasons to get on track. An 0-3 1-4 type start destroys playoff odds.

I’d feel great about things if they did something well enough last night to show some sort of identity but they simply didn’t. They got beat physically. They didn’t rush the passer well. They didn’t cover well. They didn’t communicate well.

I thought a couple rookies flashed on an individual basis and gave me optimism but that’s about it. Was there anything this unit did well? Is there anything a single position group did well at overall? I need something to show me that teams have to do more than just double team #92 to make our defense horrid again.

Honestly the Eberflus era started out stronger than this. A year ago after opening night I understood having patience as that defense made adjustments and shut down Philly in the 2nd half. This years defense had no answers after taking jabs to the face all night.

That performance puts us very much in a must win game next week….patience is no longer allowed. Results are needed immediately.
