I think it definitely has a lot to do with recruiting , especially at cb. Why would a great man corner come here to run zone and to be used like an undersized safety ? The staff talks tackling more than coverage. I’d bet anything scheme is used against us in recruiting.

Like I said “ Willis , Norton and McIntosh covered up a lot”

What’s the point of this? I’m not sure if this is in reference to setting the edge since I’ve seen multiple people mention it. But I’ve heard manny mention setting the edge or guys not doing it countless times. Patchan playing being one time , he said he sets the edge with the run better than...

Any JR/Sr dt that played yesterday is a jag or tad better. Hunte and Blissett are too young to judge, Ford , Nesta and Miller are meh to above average at best. Nobody is worried about them when we’re being scouted. Willis , Norton and McIntosh were far better players. Recruiting has failed us on...

Norton too. Like I said , people keep talking lb’s but those were three good college dt’s that fit the scheme perfect.

By not having jags at dt. The scheme flourished when we had pretty good players inside. But players are only some of the problem , the scheme is played out. It weds adjustments or a lot better players.

He’s a take , if he doesn’t come we just missed.

Yep , we were running right out of every play lol. Like a dog chasing a car , you’re not going up catch it. At some point stop!!!!! Yet in the second half we did the exact same thing with no adjusting.

Anyone with a pulse normally will. Hence the problem. Anyone physical , patient and having pretty good players will expose this. Luckily we play a **** schedule or it would be exposed more. Its time to evolve

Kinda like the defense version of chip kelly. You either evolve over time or you’re fired. Chip hasn’t evolved his scheme , which is funny because he’s the og of all these offenses.

Shaq and Pink also had our best dl’s three of their four years. Ironic they took a step back last year , why’s that? Everyone kept asking why they didn’t have better years? Well the position is alot easier when you have Norton , McIntosh and Willis inside causing chaos. Go compare those dl’s...

Bingo

We still set the edge dude, that’s why patchan played as much as he did. Yes we don’t play disciplined and we slant a lot but you always set the edge. That’s why Philips blew that play up in the backfield against duke. He set the edge.

To be fair not setting the edge all those times was on Philips, he was playing selfish and for more sacks. But you’re right for the most part, this scheme throws discipline out the window for splash / loss plays. Feast or famine.

We have a gimmick defense that is all about causing chaos and letting the dl get up field with no discipline. Yet we don’t have one dl who can do that while playing in this gimmick defense. That tells you everything about the quality of players inside.

The problem is obviously at the top , “the administration”. The majority of this board lost their **** when he was hired ( myself included). That’s why I stay away from killing manny or the dc. I go after Blake and people above him. But fact is manny is here and obviously won’t be fired even...

I finally just quit arguing about Nesta being meh. There’s guys on here that overrate dudes and play favorites . Just like pope , he’s another one the same people defend for no reason.

I’ve never got the Nesta hype. He disappears games at a time then does stupid *** **** like grabbing a face masks while on the ground, It’s like he tries to be a Jerome Brown type while not having substance. More of a impersonation of a 80-90’s um dl.

The DL was nowhere to be found while the lb’s ( who suck) are being left to fight off the ol and make tackles in space. Ford , Nesta , Miller and the rest are meh. They can’t get up field or blow plays up in the backfield consistently in a scheme that you should. Our best d was when Willis was...

You do know the Dl is what keeps them clean right? The dl has been average , especially inside. We have average dt’s that we overrated as good. Hunte is the only one who looks like a difference maker, but he’s not complete ( yet). Yeah the lb’s suck but a really good dl would keep Ol from...
