Gibson is fighting Father Time in order to get his young defense ready to face 22nd ranked Virginia Tech in the 2017 season opener at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland.
“We just haven’t done enough yet,” he said Monday. “We’ve had a couple of live days, but you’re talking 25 snaps each day so it’s not (enough). Obviously, we’re not game ready, but we’re not even really ready for the (scrimmage) part of it yet.”
Finding replacements for eight starters from last year’s defense means he’s also looking for competent backups behind them.
And that’s across the board at every position.
