(1) LB's overall were shooting the wrong gaps and at the wrong times and. They did exactly what Wake wanted.
#46 is an average tackler at best and struggles at coverage.
#33 uses very poor tackling technique and is not aggressive at times. An arm tackler, he never seems to square a runner up and tackle him in a clean manner. Not sure if he should be playing LB.
#32 can't play and is still lost.
#20 didn't play much (due to suspension) and was ineffective.
I didn't see any significant good plays or bad plays from any other LB. The others guys didn't seem to do or play that much.
(2) S's take bad angles, are slow to react to run plays for run support, and are poor tacklers overall. Poor effort many times.
#23 messes up and gives up a TD and then loafs after realizing it. He also misses tackles and can be a soft tackler. He also freelances at times.
#10 gives up the inside for no good reason and gives up a big play. Poor effort at times.
#5 poor effort in limited playing time.
I didn't see any significant good or bad plays from any other S.
(3) CB's overall were awful. Poor tackling and poor coverage.
#3 keeps giving up the inside for no good reason and gives up big plays as a result. Gives good effort though.
#7 keeps giving up the inside for no good reason and gives up big plays as a result. Has knucklehead plays.
#18 gives poor effort a lot and uses poor technique on tackling.
I didn't see any significant good or bad plays from any other CB.
(4) Overall, the back 7 is a complete mess and the reason why our defense is so bad right now. Poor effort. I'd be embarrassed if I was these kids watching their effort. Players seem to quit. No sense of urgency. Lots of missed open field tackles due to poor technique and discipline. Poor angles. Poor hustle (other than #3).
(5) Kudos to the DL. These guys give good effort every play and are generally effective except for some pass rushing. Sometimes they struggle outright beating the guy in front of them, but they seem to always get at least a tie where the LB or DB has to make a play. They also often can't shed blocks because they are getting held and the incompetent idiot ACC refs don't call it.
