[Herky] THE GOOD, BAD & UGLY 2017: ILLINOIS

[Larry Edwards]

Note especially these comments about the defensive tackles: 
THE UGLY: DEFENSIVE TACKLES 


A few statistics for you from two different groups: 

Group A: 2.0 total tackles for loss, 1 total sack, 1 pass breakup. 

Group B: 12.5 total tackles for loss, 6 total sacks, 3 pass breakups, 3 forced fumbles, 1 interception. 

Group B is the combined statistics of starting defensive ends Anthony Nelson and Parker Hesse. Group A is the combined statistics of starting defensive tackles Nathan Bazata and Cedrick Lattimore. In fairness, defensive ends are usually going to have more impressive statistics than tackles due to the inherent disadvantage tackles have in the pass rush, but c’mon. That’s noticeably disproportionate. One sack through six games? Only one pass breakup? Parker Hesse has picked off a pass! He’s a defensive end!
