    My bad. I stand corrected. Got my stats mixed. We were 79th in rush YPG on offense. You can see where I had the correct stat here. Point still stands.

    1. I do not require your validation 2. I don't need to analyze other teams. The purpose of my post was to analyze our team, so that I might better understand our results. This is the problem with cherry picking stats to suit a narrative. Allowing 3.5 yards per rush might be fine for some teams...

    Getting pressure with the front four should also improve with better and more solid cover guys. I'm really excited to see guys like Frierson, Ivey, Hall, and Blades contributing and helping shore up the back end.

    No stat is inherently good or bad. It's what people do with them that determines that. Stats have to be taken in relation to other stats, and within the context of the results of the game. Saying that yards per game doesn't matter, but yards per play does...matters to what? Stats are a...

    Again, that was my critique. Manny did not adjust his defense for the personnel he had on hand. Trust me. It's going to look a lot better when an FCS grad transfer and a JUCO aren't among the top 4 options at corner.

    And I absolutely love this defensive philosophy for the simple fact that, as I was outlining earlier, it has the ability to put an offense in a D and D situation that it isn't built to cope with. There's not nearly as much work spent in practice working on 2nd and 17's, as there is trying to...

    Don't sweat it, my man. I don't have any problem having my opinions challenged in a respectful manner. I try to stay open minded to the idea that I could possibly be wrong, and I also respect that just because you don't agree with me, that doesn't mean you have some kind of character flaw or...

    Rush D was 43rd and far better than the pass D ranked 57th? That white speck on top of chicken **** is chicken$hit, too.

    Whatevs dude. You can sit there and believe that allowing 3.5 per carry is good if it suits you, but everyone else here but you understands that allowing 3.5 on 3rd and 3 ain't worth hen **** on the pump handle.

    Because you always lose games because of a single deficiency. No wonder you don't understand. STATS IN RELATION TO EACH OTHER WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE RESULTS OF THE GAME

    I have 100% confidence in our run D this season

    No. You're obviously much denser than the average CiS porster and that's saying a lot. Averaging giving up 3.5 yards per carry only sounds good until you realize that opposing offenses averaged 3 yards to gain on 3rd downs. If you can't take those two stats and understand why we were so...

    I have 100% confidence in our run D this season

    Every person who knows anything about football knows that an offense must first establish the run in order to pass effectively...unless you're up against one of those swiss cheese Pac12 or Big12 teams who just don't even bother to play defense. The fact that teams were effective passing on us...

    Naw man...I'm just a fan. There are much better X's and O's guys here that I've picked up so much from, even the ones I often disagree with...I could never teach the game they way they've been able to.

    I have 100% confidence in our run D this season

    There's a difference between averages and consistency. We had a ton of TFLs that brought down averages, so it's a stat that can be misleading taken by itself. When the average begins to define the consistency, it translates in other areas. One of the easiest ways to determine the rush...

    I have 100% confidence in our run D this season

    What's the point of throwing out stats that you don't understand. If you're an offense, and you're gaining 3.5 yards on each play, that's what is referred to as staying ahead of the sticks. If you can do that running the ball, you're staying ahead of the sticks while at the same time minimizing...

    Would you rather be passing from 3rd and 3 or 3rd and 7? Which do you suppose has the greater probability for success?

    "It's the defense's job to get themselves off the field. The job of the offense is to score points, and if we see where we can use tempo to increase our chances of scoring, we're going to do that." CMR having to explain the fundamental purposes of the offense and the defense to a reporter who...

    Correct. Against us, offenses were almost always in 3rd and 3 or less. In that D and D, the whole playbook is on the table. Part of the strategy of any defense, actually the main part of the really good ones, is to be able to cut your opponent's playbook in half. There's only so many things you...

    Correct. It was not James Blackmon last year, but Jaquez Patrick's fat *** gashing us for multiple runs over 30 yards.
