I agree with Beetle about the D-line play. Yeah they are taught to control the line. But not penetrating when unblocke and the play goes away from you?

Example - Friday night Ashland ran the counter trey at least 10 times. The back side gaurd and tackle both pulled. Nobody closed down or penetrated from that back side. The side the play was run to was simply outnumbered with blockers. The tackle has to close down on that and try to disrupt that play in the backfield. Also penetration from the back side would habe taken away the cutback lanes. If the tackle crashes and the end stays home you still have your containment and maybe you get them for a loss.

Regardless of who you want to blame. Be it coaches or players. This defense has to be more agressive.
