our offense is #6 in the country. our defense is #158. i have no clue why we talk about our players' offensive weaknesses as much as we do.

to my eyes, a major part of our defensive deficiency is due to not playing much defense in any situation.
In all seriousness, as we have rehashed all season, a lot of it is due to personnel. I love Dinos, but he's not helping. That puts a ton of pressure on Collins, who has foul issues and has to let guys score once he gets his first. We also can't guard wings with Arians or a 3-guard set. Crawford has tools... but his style seems to be more about trying to make big plays for turnovers instead of tough defense for an entire possession. Childress plays good on the ball defense!
It'll all probably get better next year (is what I tell myself so I can sleep each night).
nah, he's also lazy on closeouts and helps when he doesn't need to sometimes. defense is just bad across the board with the exception of chill.One issue Craw has is that he has to cover up for Woods, wilbekin and Arians which gets him out of position on his own man.
As already mentioned, we have to help on defense a lot, much of which is personnel related, but the manner in which we help on defense is poor too. Way too many players react to a drive and slouch off their man, leading to tons of open three pointers, often times from a hot shooter who should rarely be left alone. A couple of times on Wednesday I saw all 4 off-ball defenders with at least one foot in the paint in reaction to a drive from the perimeter.
Can't you just watch the team without singling out a player to go overboard criticizing? What the hell is wrong with you?
