    This "D" problem didn't start three years ago. It's been a problem for many years.  With the exception of around 98, maybe 99, through 03 or 04, the defense has had problems.  The same problems existed when DeRouren was HC.  What's the common denominator?  Everyone knows my solution.  Trust me, you make this change and "D" stats improve 1,000%.
    I'm not talking about a total change, but some change is good.  Just look at PN-G.

    I believe the difference is in the type of athletes we had from 97-2004 compared to the last 4 years.  We were great on D from 97-2004 with the same DC.  When you have 185 lb. D-linemen going against 260 lb. O-linemen we all know who is usually going to win that battle.  I'm not faulting the kids, but when the opposing teams O-line is on your linebackers 2 seconds after the ball is snapped, the outcome can't be good. We just didn't have the BIG, Athelitic linemen we had several years ago.  Not the fault of the kids, but I don't think you can fault the coaches either.  Look at some of the pictures from 2000 when Nederland was outstanding on Defense.  Look at the D-linemen and LBs.

    Scroll to the bootom.  Also check out page 2 and look at the offensive line.

    I liked Miles a lot last year, but hope his outside shooting behind the arc has improved.

    Only McThay shot a decent percentage from behind the arc last year.  Hopefully Roc brought in the right players to take care of that problem.

    Maybe Mathis will be THAT guy???
