The Bone Yard

Corey Cooper is coming along... I wouldn't be surprised to see him get more and more playing time. He's better in coverage than Stafford on the back end and can make similar type hits.

Generally, I think the D is Bo's responsibility. The jury is still out on his staff because there are so many new people and I don't think they have not had time to mesh yet. The only thing that is certain is that they are all hand-picked by Bo because of their compatibility with him on a professional and personal basis.

I think the defensive scheme is clearly Bo's. The issues with the D are multiple, but I don't believe we can scheme our way out of them. There are major issues with the front 7. Compton and EMart have had a few good moments and Baker had one good half against Wiscy, but the rest just don't have it. So I guess I don't think there is much for a coach to work with there.

The secondary is a different story. I think there are some good athletes there and perhaps a more experienced coach than Joseph could get more out of them. Stay tuned here, I think there could be some significant improvement here if Joseph can get this group focused and aggressive.
