remarkable YoY improvement in pass defense

If Flowers comes back healthy and dialed in to details of coaching with what I saw from McCullough our secondary will be very good next year even better numbers than this year. I expect all the returners to improve and with all our DL Experience returning . Just need one outside LB to become the Man rushing the passer.

Starting the freshman corners last year paid off for this year. Plus Warrior finally stepped up his game after a slow start. Better linebacker and line play too. For the most part the D was the strongest side of the ball this year.

Starting freshmen is always a double edges sword. Sucks in the beginning but awesome on the backside.
Also, just simply playing the best player helps a ton. I think Pruitt has done a good job of putting the best man on the field.

Maybe the other QBs had "sympathy pains" after watching JG, Maurer and Strout struggle.

No Lock, Grier, Tua (2nd half), no Burrow helped too.

Also this was the season of QB Turmoil in SEC with KY, SCAR, AL, FL, Mizzou all dealing with QB injuries and Tennessee, MissSt and Vandy not having great QB play. GaSt, KY, and MissSt are big running teams too.

Yeah much better to just not give credit and make up negative BS because you hate the coach. Good grief...

I love the coach and the staff, just playing devls advocate!

I do think secondary was mostly better, except I felt like Alontae Taylor wasn't as good or exposed more compared to his FR year.

Sham, Theo and Warrior improved Safety play over last season plus Flowers when healthy. Burrough did good for a Freshman.
