The 1st team defense looked awesome and to be honest i don't think they were being all that aggressive. They were just shutting everything down that App State brought. If their is any possible weakness its stoping the run, but i thought the Starters did well even in that area.

make mistakes being aggressive than being on their heels. I loved the bump & run and the pressure by the DL. Wormley and Henry and gonna wreak havoc this year.

Didn't seem like a great day from the LBs. Ryan was quiet and seemed a step slow at times, though that may be due to the learning curve of the MLB position. I'm confident he'll get it together.
I was very impressed with the DBs. They looked great. It's super-early but looks like Manning's doing nice work.

...and I won't so, whatever.
But, it seemed like we had some MAs on some of their downhill inside zone out of the pistol. I think it's going to take a few games for JMFR to be completely comfortable at MIKE.
I may be wrong, but I thought I saw us playing some 2-technique (head up over the guard) and trying to 2-gap and it didn't go well. If this is true (it probably isn't), it makes it hard on inexperienced inside backers (JMFR) to be in the proper gap when the 2-gap DL switches gaps. For example, the DL-man starts to play B gap but tries to escape into A gap to make a play; meanwhile MIKE has also committed to A gap , so B gap is unaccounted for.
