Of course, talk is cheap, but you can tell they feel they have something to prove, and I have a feeling our D just might surprise some folks. <br /><br />I think most would agree our interior line could be outstanding, and our linebackers have the potential to be great. So the question marks are at DE and the secondary. If our DEs have a big year I think the secondary will be just fine. (That is a big IF). But I like our chances, actually.<br /><br />As far as swagger... go back and watch the Hawaii game... there is a palpable difference in attitude compared to what we saw last year. (Of course, it helps when you have a Marcus Howard sacking the QB every 3rd snap). Now the question is, what comes first, the attitude or the performance? You could argue either side of that, but I'm convinced they work together hand-in-hand. And I'm thinking this squad will be improved in both categories.Dog44noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-3902885424993149692009-07-16T11:13:03.496-04:002009-07-16T11:13:03.496-04:00I don't know think swagger is what we're l...I don't know think swagger is what we're looking for here. I equate swagger to arrogance or overconfidence. Unfortunately, this elusive "swagger" concept is something our players have latched onto and even become obssesed with attaining. Our guys just need to go out and let our play do the talking. Period. Swagger or swerve can wait until the offseason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-69798743798479541522009-07-16T10:58:03.788-04:002009-07-16T10:58:03.788-04:00The getting to the ball mindset needs adjusting.

Go back and look at the games - how many times did we have a player in position (actual hands on the offensive player) only to have him knocked off by a defensive teammate?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-57485610638126319092009-07-16T10:20:51.429-04:002009-07-16T10:20:51.429-04:00Wrap up, Reshad!Wrap up, Reshad!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-67839570914604077042009-07-16T10:10:15.286-04:002009-07-16T10:10:15.286-04:00I would love to see the D playing with the same in...I would love to see the D playing with the same intensity that they played in the 07 Auburn/UF/Hawaii games.

I'm glad to hear our players will be working hard but until I see or hear something new from our defensive coaches you can count me skeptical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-68578899914648545232009-07-16T09:19:50.506-04:002009-07-16T09:19:50.506-04:00On Tuesday they replayed the SC - GA game from las...On Tuesday they replayed the SC - GA game from last year. We stopped them and then they adjusted as the game progressed. More often than not we did not make an adjustment to their adjustment. We probably should have lost that game. Of course the anemic offense would have been partly to blame also. Bottom line, the coaches have to adjust during the game. The longer we run the same defense year after year, the more the other team's coaches catch on as to how take advantage of what we give them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
