Coaches and chefs are similar in that both are judged by the results of their efforts.I do not doubt the ability of Wilcher and Roberts as position coaches. Nor can I say that there is a definite problem with their ability to work well together as Co-Ds. I dont know. We can,however ,view the results of their efforts. A rather unpalatble meal.I still believe that individually there is a lot of talent on the field. The players w/o exception are quick and athletic. They remind me of Fordham’s D under Massella,filled with schollie kids. It was a Keystone Kops D. Ours is similar this year. The difference here IMO is the clear fact that our DL cannot perform its function in the 3-4. From there the dominoes fall with disastrous consequence. Size is part of the problem but not the whole answer. We’ve had good NGs over the years who were 260 or less. Layton is a converted LB. Remington a DE. Look at our roster of DLinemen and there are few that seem suitable for inside DL play. Lots of DEs.

Back to the last 3 games, what can be done to fix D ? Perhaps ,if changing basic sets not an option, we could go to the blitz til you drop D.
