Curious, has anyone come up with a logical explanation for why this team is having such a hard time attracting top talent DTs? Interested to hear thoughts on why this might be.

Lack of local prospects at the position?

Fear of possible defensive coaching turnover?

Scheme fits?

Obamacare?

What gives!?!?!

Lack of defensive production 95% and no local DT's 5%. Once we got rid of the NCAA, the only other negative recruiting tactic was or defense. What else does any of those Jim Crow towns have to attract talent?
 
have you watched the "defense" that we play? guys with a possible NFL future at DT dont wanna come here and play pattycake getting their **** pushed in for 4 years

Has to do with
A.Lack of DT prospect locally most lineman are like 215lbs-220lbs because of the south Florida heat

B.Lack of Production from that position. the leading sack leader for DTs was Ufomba Kamalu with 3.5 sacks. Olsen Pierre had 33 tackles. LSU had 1 D-lineman with 8 sacks about 3 of our guys to put it in prospective.

C.Coaching Reputation-Players want to play for a coach they know will maximize their potential and D'no has not proven that.
 
Allegedly DT's don't like the gap control techniques in Dorito's system - Supposedly! However, every system requires all gaps to be covered in order to have a sound defense - in the box.

Zone blitzes and stunts can be considered gambles as it relates gap protection, but it sometimes takes exotic calls to crack (confuse) a good offensive line. Dorito has implemented such calls in the past, but not always against certain teams... When we play the USF's of the world, we see more chancess being taken, but for whatever reason, we're pretty vanilla against stiffer competetion.

When you bring blitzes with a LB or a drop-down Safety, it opens up opportunities for the DT's to get some freebie Sacks, and/or 1 on 1 situations, which increases their chances of having good numbers, which turns the heads of scouts.

Say what you want, but when a scout pulls a report, he's less likely to skip down to a guy with 8 sacks in a 4 year career, compared to a guy with 18-20 sacks in 4 years from the DT position. The recruiters are pushing this point to the elite DT prospects.

I don't think the calls to be successful are missing from "the playbook." I think it's "the guts" to pull the trigger on the exotic calls that's missing!

We have what it takes to be this kind of defense, with the right calls:

Moten & Heurtelou > Jenkins & Wyche; hands down!

BUT, it's all about the playcalls from the coarch for pressure, which will make everyone look good.

Just picking up a little here and there the prototype tackle in UM's scheme is Jenkins a giant who can control the center of the line.. So you have one DT's playing instead of two for starters.LSU really used scheme to recruit Vanlentine?

No he said why are we NOT attracting top talent. We obviously didn't get those guys.





Dorito.
 
Left wing statist plot to destroy THE U. See Miami is small "private" institution and the pro big government people wanted to take control of football back to the large state institutions. They even went so far as to plant operatives inside THE U to destroy from within(Yes, we see you, Dee, Foote and Donna). You think it is an accident that the other "private" football power, USC, got crushed by the man? Payoffs, bride, intimidation, sabotage are all normal operating procedures for these people. THE trUth will set U free!!!!!!
