[Full deck]

The secondary play looked better...one of things that bothered me was I still see some armtackling in the secondary. One kid had a tackle made and then tried to grab instead of using the body on a rumbling fullback...wound up on the ground hitting it with his fist and hollering as the fullback scored from thirty out. We got annnihilated last year for that stuff. I did see a couple of young guys step it up in the D secondary and they played well without much experience....but again, too much seperation a few times between the receivers and the DBs. Some good play, some not so much. The team as a whole had a more positive attitude than I saw last year which is a good thing. The D line as a whole is going to have to get more mobile or at least take better angles when attacking. To much chasing around in the backfield, more gang tackling is needed. The two sophomore linemen are some big old boys and if they keep coming around, things might not be too bad. One is so big that his nickname is "Village". If he gets his aggression up, he is pretty tough to defend. Again, I saw better play than I expected from the line as a whole. I've got my fingers crossed.

Any speed this year?
