the VT D? Hmmm? Who is THAT guy or guys you absolutely must game plan around or for in fear of them blowing up your plays? Do we have ONE? I don't think so. MAYBE Dax or Ashby, but without a DL or CBs as Hoopz states, those guys become irrelevant. A good O Coord can make Dax and Ashby irrelevant. I think we will be better and trending upward, but the Charmin schedule this year will mask some of the long term issues. Like, where are the bell cows we need on D to be a top 15, 10, 5 Defense again?
