I’ve played football and watched forever. I’ve watched plenty of Lehigh football as well. I agree with a lot of the observations about the D on this site (the D stinks)…why does the D stink?
1. You cant have mediocre defensive backs be converted to LBs…what you get is a below-average LB who is not physical; pretty clear they can’t cover TEs down the middle of the field either, so what’s the use of having under-sized LBs?
2. Pretty clear to me that there was no competition for starting spots on the D. If changes are made, do the coaches go to their next “favorite” or do they create actual competition?
3. This whole defensive coaching staff stinks. they not only have bad schemes, they don’t get the kids mentally ready to play. Bott should retire. Ward should find another line of work before its too late. Sutyak and Roberts might be able to coach at Lackawanna J.C.
4. The offense lacks creativity. How many times can you throw to the same kids?
