I definitely don't like our points allowed and yards allowed stats. Completely unacceptable!

RE: NEXT: Bill and Mary aka Waste Management
He left out that we are 8-1 and they are 2-7.....wonder why? When after all, those are the most important "stats" of all.

But yes, our defense sucks, there is no two ways about it and you simply cannot defend it anymore. We've yet to play one solid 60 minute game on the defensive side of the ball this season.

That worries me greatly going into the playoffs, it was our achilles heel last year against Ga Southern (I mean you score 48 points in a playoff game and you expect to win right?) and it very well could be our achilles heel again this year.

We shall see, it's too late to change defensive coordinators at this point in the season, it would be too risky (although one could argue we couldn't get much worse on the defensive side of the ball regardless) so we are stuck with Dee for now.

But if we continue to hemorrhage points like we did last year and are doing this year in the playoffs and it costs us another early exit, we need to look outside the program for a new d coordinator. Bring in someone who KNOWS defense, has a history of success at the college level and is interested in joining and up and coming program making a move to FBS football. Grab North Dakota State's D coordinator, grab any top D coordinator from a solid, established FCS program, offer him more money and a chance to get more exposure as a coordinator at a FBS school playing in CUSA on national TV.

I guarantee you can find someone. We can keep D on the staff, just let him go back to working with D backs or the offensive line or whatever he was doing before and keep letting him recruit the Peninsula so we can land top players. I don't want the guy to lose his job, I just don't want him calling our plays on the defensive side of the football because let's face it, he's been pretty much just as bad as Rondeau was last year, it's just that our offense has been that good and has bailed us out of games where we gave up 61 to New Hampshire, 37 to Richmond, 26 to Delaware and hell, we even gave up 27 to an AWFUL Ga State team.

The best defensive game we played all season was against Towson and, oh yeah, they just happened to be missing the reigning CAA Player of the year/All American Terrance West for that game. Coincidence that we "only" held them to 20 without him? I don't think so. The offense is the only reason we aren't 6-3 or maybe even 5-4 right now.

So yeah, Dee needs to be reassigned and we need to get a REAL defensive coordinator from an established college program with a track record of solid defense and bring him with us to FBS/CUSA. We've seen far too much money invested in this program and have far too good a head coach/offense to let a high school coach's bad play calling bring this team now while we are on such an amazing ride.

I don't know the guy, never met him, hold no ill will against him and don't want him to leave the program because I think he's done a good job helping us recruit the Peninsula, but he has not done a good enough job matching wits against CAA offensive coordinators to retain his job as defensive coordinator next year especially when we are moving up a level and playing teams like UNC, Maryland, ECU etc. OOC.

Anyone disagree with any of that?

Since this game is senior day, I read http://hamptonroads.com/2012/11/column-1...nd-it-paid and counted only 16 players on the roster http://www.odusports.com/sports/m-footbl...r-mtt.html who is 17? maybe Crawford or Tuner
