Will Echoles Had ZERO Pressures And Said It Was A Lack Of Violence | Ole Miss fix for Vandy?

Everyone spent the bye week arguing about Pete Golding's scheme. That's the wrong line. Will Echoles rushed the passer 17 times against Florida and produced ZERO pressures, seven days after posting 7 pressures and a sack on the exact same 54 snaps — and the unit around him managed six total pressures and no sacks on roughly 112 pass-rush snaps. You cannot scheme your way to one tackle for loss on 53 carries. Somebody has to beat a block, and for one Saturday in Gainesville nobody did. 9 days to Vanderbilt in Nashville. Two players went to a podium Tuesday and said more useful things about this defense than anybody analyzing it all week. Steven Willis takes the two Tuesday pressers apart and puts the charting next to them — Echoles calling his own room's tape "a lack of violence," the 14 missed tackles that are now three straight weeks at exactly 14, and the one number from the bye week that says the offensive line was never the problem.
